Wisdom from Above - Poem by Raymond A. Foss

Not of our making
working all things out
only by submitting
by listening to our Master’s voice

Sometimes in power
sometimes within
the voice calling us
with wisdom from above

To find a way through the storm
a way to the other side
walking with our Savior
letting the Spirit be our Guide

Matthew 18:15-22
Romans 12:17-18
James 3:1-18
Matthew 5:24
and second in a two-part sermon series entitled
“Sensitivity Training II: When Church Folk Don’t Get Along.”
Peter said he “was not preaching this sermon because we are having difficulty with this issue. I am preaching it because I firmly believe the best time to consider matters such as this is when tensions are not high and we can reflect on good spiritual practices that can keep our relationships healthy. The middle part of Matthew 18 offers a good plan for conflict resolution.”
