“Is Courtesy a Way of Life for You?”
BY
ADRIAN ROGERS
“Thou hast also given me the shield of Thy salvation: and
Thy right hand hath holden me up, and Thy gentleness hath made me great.” Psalm
18:35
Do you know what our churches could use a little bit more
of? Courtesy among the brethren—love in the little things, love that says
“please” and “thank you,” love that steps back and gives the other person first
place. The gentleness of our Lord.
It never ceases to amaze me how people so quickly lose
their religion when they leave church on Sunday morning. They go to their cars
in the parking lot, then cut people off in traffic. And don’t ever take
someone’s “regular” seat in church. You’re seen as stealing their “rightful”
place in the worship service!
May God cleanse our churches of self-righteousness and
pride. May He purify us from anything that seeks to elevate self over others.
