we welcome you now to a true church perspective with pastor g craig lewis matthew five and

twenty three grudges therefore if thou bring thy gift to the altar and there remembrance that thy

brother hath ought against thee leave there thy gift before you even try to offer it to the Lord, leave it,

go away and be reconciled to thy brother. And then come and offer your gift. So in other words,

God don't you try to be kind to him if you haven't been kind to your brother. So if you've been

evil to your brother, you've done something numskulled to your brother, then don't come

trying to make it right with God. You go make it right with your brother first. Agree with

thine adversary quickly. In other words, squash it quick while thou art in the way with him.

So while you and you and him are getting into it, try to deal with it right there and try to handle it.

Don't go sleep on it later and wait three or four days and bitterness and all these things start

setting in. Your attitude changes and yeah yeah you mad for a whole year before

you say something no because then your tongue will be a weapon handle it quick is what the bible

is saying lest at any time the adversary deliver thee to the judge so in other words you might die

in the process and then you got to stand before the judge and the judge delivered So in other words, you might die in the process, and then you got to stand before the

judge. And the judge delivered thee to the officer, and thou be cast into hell, is really prison.

Verily I say unto thee, thou shalt by no means come out thence till thou hast paid the other most

farthing. Let's talk about this. The grudge match. Many times bitterness

causes us to hold grudges. We talked about bitterness last week. Make sure you download that

message and listen to it. Very, very important message. Probably have more interactions online

about that message than all of our messages. That one really hit home for some people dealing

with bitterness and unforgiveness. Many times bitterness causes us to hold grudges. When we have

aught against our brother, we should go to them and get it straight rather than hold on to it.
