New Seat Belt Law New Seat Belt Law became effective November  1, 2007. The National Highway Safety Council has done extensive testing on a newly designed seat belt. Results show that accidents can be reduced by as much as 45% when the belt is properly installed. Correct installation is illustrated here. This is very important. Please pass on to friends and family. THIS MAY SAVE A LIFE!

Have you had conflict?

Why bring this up?

Conflicts among Christians are family matters––not for unbelievers to solve (6:1) Why? Competency Witness

I. We are more competent than unbelievers to solve Christian disputes (2-6, 9-11)

“Do you not know that saints will judge the world?” (6:2a)

The Rule of Christ What is it? When is it?

Our Future (Rev. 19-20) Heaven (Rev. 21-22) Millennium (Rev. 20) Return (Rev. 19)

Revelation 20:4 (NAU) 4Then I saw thrones, and they sat on them, and judgment was given to them. And I saw the souls of those who had been beheaded because of their testimony of Jesus and because of the word of God, and those who had not worshiped the beast or his image, and had not received the mark on their forehead and on their hand; and they came to life and reigned with Christ for a thousand years.

Fall of Lucifer, the Shining Star (cf. Rev. 12:7-9)‏ 10/06/10 "Then this further message came to me from the LORD: 12'Son of man, sing this funeral song for the king of Tyre. Give him this message from the Sovereign LORD: "You were the model of perfection, full of wisdom and exquisite in beauty. 13You were in Eden, the garden of God. Your clothing was adorned with every precious stone… all beautifully crafted for you and set in the finest gold. They were given to you on the day you were created"'" (Ezek. 28:11-13) Fall of Lucifer, the Shining Star (cf. Rev. 12:7-9)‏

The angels pursue 16 Your rich commerce led you to violence, 10/06/10 The angels pursue 15 "You were blameless in all you did from the day you were created until the day evil was found in you. 16 Your rich commerce led you to violence, and you sinned. So I banished you in disgrace from the mountain of God. I expelled you, O mighty guardian, from your place among the stones of fire. 17 Your heart was filled with pride because of all your beauty. Your wisdom was corrupted by your love of splendor. So I threw you to the ground and exposed you to the curious gaze of kings" (Ezek. 28:12-17)‏

We will Judge Fallen Angels (Demons)

Not-so-influential (4) Even inexperienced Christians judge church affairs better than non-Christians (4-6) Not-so-influential (4) Not-so-wise (5-6)

Salvation and sanctification are more important in making judgments than expertise (9-11)

Why do we go to unbelievers for judgment? Wealth over Witness Pride over Prince Unjustified over Justified Courts more Equitable?

I. We are more competent than unbelievers to solve Christian disputes (2-6, 9-11)

II. It is better to suffer personal loss than for the whole church lose its witness (7-8)

“You are the light of the world…”

How to win by losing A. Better that one Christian be wronged than the church be wronged from litigating saints (7) B. Better to lose money than to lose ministry opportunities by cheating other Christians (8)

I. We are more competent than unbelievers to solve Christian disputes (2-6, 9-11)

II. It is better to suffer personal loss than for the whole church lose its witness (7-8)

III. Let us apply this principle to some special situations today…

Special Situations What if you’re legally right? What if the issue is a criminal offense? Is it OK to claim against a Christian’s insurance company? Can Christians sue non-Christians? Can we defend ourselves if another believer litigates against us?

Black

Main Idea: Disputes between believers must be solved by believers

Church Covenant As members of one body, we pledge to: (xiv) resolve all conflicts with arbitration only among believers without recourse to the secular courts
