| First Reading: Psalm: Gospel: | 1 Corinthians 6:1-11 Psalm 149:1-6, 9 Luke 6:12-19 |
1 Corinthians 6:4 If then you have such cases, why do you lay them before those who are least esteemed by the church?
Today the pendulum has swung and the church has become almost entirely hands off when it comes to resolving personal issues. To answer the question in the passage one might say that the church no longer is willing to play that role. The church needs to stand up and take it's responsibility in being a decision maker for conflicts among her members.
Father, help your church to see her responsibility to be a judge for her people. They church is the body of Christ, help us to act as though we truly believe that.
Amen
