Thirsting Souls Bible Teaching

(Php 2:3) “Let nothing be done through strife or vainglory;….”  “Vainglory” – the worthless glory of self! So often conflict occurs within the church simply because our minds are fleshly, wrapped up in self – me, myself, and mine! Our pride is hurt (pride is never used in a positive way in Scripture, yet we mimic the world in our verbiage, ‘I am so proud of my children”). The first thing we should look at when our feeling are hurt is “why”? Am I in “need” of the compliments or thankfulness of others. Truth is, if it is given to God, then it is He and He alone we will look for a response!
