TEAMWORK

TEAMWORK

In Genesis 4:1-9, we see that Cain was not able, so he killed Abel and we’ve been raising Cain ever since. When God confronted Cain with his sin, he tried to excuse himself by saying, “Am I my brother’s keeper?” In other words, he tried to deny what had happened.

A friend recently told me that when he was in prison, more than once he saw someone get stabbed. When that happened, everyone just walked away and pretended that they didn’t see what they saw. If an inmate said anything about who did the crime, that inmate would find himself laying in a pool of his own blood next. Telling is not done in prison if you want to live.

Out side of prison, in the real world, things are quite different, especially for Christians. In Galatians 6:1-7, Paul instructs us to gently confront someone who sins and encourage them to stop the sinful behavior. First, we must make sure we are not doing the same thing in our lives, but we don’t ignore their sin. As members of the same family of Christ, we talk to them and encourage them to do the right thing.

We are a team and if one member of the team is cheating or not playing according to the rules or is not playing to the best of his ability, it behooves the other team members to talk to that player about doing his best and abiding by the rules of the game. Otherwise, the entire team loses, all because of one player.

The people in your family are a team. You help one another to do the right thing. The people you work with are another team. Each one works with the others on that team to accomplish the objectives of that industry. If you are in a community group of any kind, you are a team member with the others in that group. You don’t ignore one another, but encourage each other to follow the established agenda and do their part.

The church is a team. Encourage your fellow Christian friends to live their life in such a way that Christ is glorified, honored and proclaimed. Let’s work together as a team to fulfill the Great Commission and lead one more soul to eternity.
