Selfish or Sincere - Shawn Winters

Conflict is part and parcel of every life. Any two people can hold different opinions on most anything. We disagree over driving directions (even with our GPS), over the use of money, over decisions, and even over favorite sports teams. We even disagree on ministry and church life. Paul is in prison when he writes about two groups that are in conflict (Philippians 2:15-18). The focus of this disagreement is Paul himself. One group is supportive of Paul and his ministry. The other group is not. Yet both are upholding the truth of the gospel and making an impact on people’s lives. Paul rises above the fray when he says, “But what does it matter? The important thing is that in every way, whether from false motives or true, Christ is preached. And because of this I rejoice.” May we be like Paul and rise above the fray and proclaim Christ.
