Chill man, Chill….

Two men who lived in a small village got into a terrible dispute that they could not resolve. So they decided to talk to the town sage. The first man went to the sage's home and told his version of what happened. When he finished, the sage said, "You're absolutely right." The next night, the second man called on the sage and told his side of the story. The sage responded, "You're absolutely right." Afterward, the sage's wife scolded her husband. "Those men told you two different stories and you told them they were absolutely right. That's impossible -- they can't both be absolutely right." The sage turned to his wife and said, "You're absolutely right."

Philippians 1:18 But what does it matter? The important thing is that in every way, whether from false motives or true, Christ is preached. And because of this I rejoice. Yes, and I will continue to rejoice,

Every now and then we hear of a brother or a sister serving Christ differently than us. Sometimes a pastor or a preacher seems to be offending to us in nature and through there acts. But what we often tend to forget is that we are not called to judge. Moreover everyone is right from there point of view. So there’s no point of criticizing someone because of their approach or for that matter anything they do which they call ministry.

When Apostle Paul was in prison many got the opportunity to preach, he knew that some were doing it out of selfish ambitions, and some simply putting up a show. But even in such a situation the greatest theologian of all times was happy that Christ is being preached. If so, then let’s not get irritated when that guy starts getting more followers. Don’t bother when He/She is becoming more famous than you while preaching in some way or the other. Instead of criticizing and putting anyone down, let us rejoice that Christ is being preached. Chill man, Chill….
