Today has been an interesting day. I ran into a problem with another ministry. We were trying to help, trying to strengthen, trying to be transparent, and the response…we are trying to compete with them. I was surprised, offended and disappointed. I already decided that my response would be in prayer and be in prayer only. But I went to the web to check my heart, I looked for an article on Competition in the Body of Christ. Although I do not practice competition within the Kingdom and believe it is an offense to the Body and to Christ, I needed more than my own teaching on this. I wanted a word from outside. The article that I found not only encouraged me, but also had me check my actions and even my thoughts in this situation. I want to share it with you.
I was given permission to link to it from the one of the authors.
