Got a problem with either of those? (Like I do?)
Do you detect in yourself (as I do in me) a picky attitude or a proud spirit?
If I stop doing anything for the sake of contrariness or self-promotion, how much would I stop doing?
“Let nothing be done through strife or vainglory; but in lowliness of mind let each esteem other better than themselves” (3).
Nothing.
Wow! 😯
So…how do I overcome strife and vainglory?
By lowliness…meekness…humility…servanthood…Christ-likeness.
“Let this mind be in you, which was also in Christ Jesus” (5).
