Beware of Personal Favoritism
God’s Living Word - James 2:1-4, NKJV
My brethren, do not hold the faith of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Lord of glory, with partiality. For if there should come into your assembly a man with gold rings, in fine apparel, and there should also come in a poor man in filthy clothes, and you pay attention to the one wearing the fine clothes and say to him, “You sit here in a good place,” and say to the poor man, “You stand there,” or, “Sit here at my footstool,” have you not shown partiality among yourselves, and become judges with evil thoughts?
Food for thought – Justice
Those who trust in the Lord Jesus Christ know that all human glory is like a flashlight compare with the noonday sun of Christ’s glory.
Because of this, we are to regard all people with honor, regardless of their position, power or possessions. Anything less is just self-serving favoritism. Effective leaders treat every member of the team like the most valuable member, regardless of the individual’s role. (Notes from The Leadership Bible, NIV © 1998)
May the reading of God’s Living Word touch your heart in the name of Jesus Christ. Amen!
