See the bigger picture

You see, in the midst of arguing about what is biblically right or wrong, I've become a mere infant.
"you are still worldly. For since there is jealousy and quarreling among you, are you not worldly?" (1 corinthians 3:3)

In the end, who cares if a wording choice or whatever is right and wrong. We are mere infants in need to start chewing food. We can't dissect everything and act scholarly because that wasn't apostle Paul's purpose of writing this.

"for who makes you different from anyone else? What do you have that you did not receive? And if you did receive it, why do you boast as though you did not?" (1 Corinthians 4:7)

It's always so humbling to read apostle pauls writings because i realize how weak I am. How petty, ignorant, condescending, and stupid I am. It is not me but Christ who lives in me. So I should stop being a kid and start growing up. What's the bigger picture?

Is this me?

Proverbs 30:11-14 (NIV)

"There are those who curse their fathers
and do not bless their mothers;

those who are pure in their own eyes
and yet are not cleansed of their filth;

those whose eyes are ever so haughty,
whose glances are so disdainful;

those whose teeth are swords
and whose jaws are set with knives
to devour the poor from the earth,
the needy from among mankind."


30:5 "Every word of God is flawless; he is a shield to those who take refuge in him"
