Thin-Skinned Christians Ruin Churches - Tim Conway

Do you know it is a massive mercy of God

that this church has not suffered

any major split.

It's the mercy of God.

But I'll tell you this,

it being a mercy of God does not mean

that we should take any other posture

than what Paul's calling for,

to fight for it.

Because I'll tell you this,

the Spirit of God works
through your fight,

and you don't fight
this battle with sword.

You fight this battle with all humility

and gentleness with patience,

bearing with one another - bearing!

We're not thin-skinned.

Thin-skinned Christians
ruin and wreck churches.

You're people who are tolerant.

You're people who have thick skins.

You're not easily offended.

You're not squealing

and running around all the time.

You're not wagging your
tongues all the time.
