Spiritual Smugness
Self-righteousness is terrible among God's people. If we feel that we are what we ought to be, then we will remain what we are. We will not look for any change or improvement in our lives. This will quite naturally lead us to judge everyone by what we are. This is the judgment of which we must be careful. To judge others by ourselves is to create havoc in the local assembly. Self-righteousness also leads to complacency. Complacency is a great sin and covers just about everything I have said about the rote and the rut. Some have the attitude, "Lord, I'm satisfied with my spiritual condition. I hope one of these days You will come, I will be taken up to meet You in the air and I will rule over five cities." These people cannot rule over their own houses and families, but they expect to rule over five cities. They pray spottily and sparsely, rarely attending prayer meeting, but they read their Bibles and expect to go zooming off into the blue yonder and join the Lord in the triumph of the victorious saints.

No Light Without the Divine Enlightener
However unpopular we may become as a result, we must cling to the knowledge that all men are heretics by nature and can never know redeeming truth till they are enlightened from above by and through the inspired revelation we call the Scriptures. We are never kind to our neighbor when for the sake of sweet charity we smile away his perilous error and let him go unrebuked and uncorrected. The sons of light have an overwhelming obligation to the children of darkness. The lighthouse keeper dare not compromise with the storm; neither dare the light become friendly with the darkness.
The temptation to create our own creed and settle religious questions out of our own heads is as great in the pastor"s study as in the corner tavern. No man knows enough to be sure he is right about divine things until he has submitted his ideas to the test of the Scriptures. Intelligence is not enough, nor experience nor brilliance. The Word of God is the final court of appeal. "I gain understanding from your precepts; therefore I hate every wrong path" (Psalms 119:104).

From the writings of the Rev. Billy Graham
Q: My best friend all through school and college – best man at my wedding, godfather to my children – has turned on me with no explanation. I’ve searched my heart to see what I might have done to cause the destruction of a treasured friendship. He blocks me on social media and has even relocated his residence. I am devastated, shocked, and feel helpless to correct whatever has happened to cause such a reaction. I feel that this also has hurt my own testimony since people tell me the horrible accusations he has made about me. How can a Christian deal with this? – L.F
A: Some of our greatest hurts come from broken relationships. Often people will do most anything to correct the wrongs, except pray. God knows the motive of the heart. And when we call someone’s name in prayer, He listens.
God’s will is for us to live at peace with everyone (see Romans 12:18). But sometimes in a broken relationship, the door seems closed forever. Marriages suffer, children rebel and run off, fathers abandon their families, business partners turn away in anger, and yes, friends will sometimes forsake us.
When someone rejects us and absolutely refuses to have anything to do with us, we can’t force them to change. But we can – and should – do everything we can to keep the door open to reconciliation. We shouldn’t strike back or condemn; instead, we should pray for them and trust God. Perhaps the relationship, in time, will be restored to the glory of God.
We cannot change the person we’re estranged from, but God can. Even when the door seems firmly closed, God is able to open it. We should do all we can to restore broken relationships, and trust God for the outcome.

Do you remember what Jesus said when he walked on the water, coming to his disciples through the storm? He told them, "Do not fear, I Am." In the presence of God's holy and all-powerful Son, we don't have to be afraid. Love has reached us and saved us in Jesus. God's grace for us in Jesus and our faith in Jesus have taken away our need for fear. Jesus' sacrifice has made us holy, without fault, and free from any charge against us (Colossians 1:21-22). Our response? Love! We love our Father for who he is, what he has done, and his great sacrifice for us. We also choose to love others as we have been loved because perfect love casts off all fear.
