A Sharp Edge | July 25th

"Iron sharpens iron, and one man sharpens another."

Proverbs 21:17

We are all made in the image of God. We need to recognize the significance of this in one another as we spur one another on. Understanding this helps us approach one another with humility and the desire for the best for one another. As iron can sharpen another piece of iron, we can sharpen others.

There is wisdom in coming together for conversation beyond what we can agree upon. Our thoughts, ideologies, and perceptions should be challenged so that we might grow.

The culture refuses to listen to others with humility and a willingness to listen. We must recognize the benefit of vigorous discord guided by the intention of improving one another and not trying to convince others into our thinking.

Let us provoke one another into deep thought upon God, His word, and His providential working in our lives. May we examine the culture through Scripture so we can discern what is true and noble. Let our words be seasoned with grace and edify those listening while we seek to sharpen one another in excellence for God.

In Christ Alone,

Pastor Wight
