The first part of Romans 15 reminds me a lot of this past weekend at the Men's Rally. Paul encourages us to prefer our brothers in every way. If there is ever anything that we think would offend one of our brothers we should keep it to ourselves. Paul said if one is strong in faith and the other weak we should pray for wisdom in dealing with our brothers in the church and those outside the church with our conversations and actions. When we live in harmony and are servants one to another, then and only then can we sing praises to our God as the psalmist David wrote about.
Paul goes on to talk about being used by God to send this message to Jews and Gentiles alike. Sending this Truth to those that have never heard this before. How beautiful are the feet of those that spread his Word. You know we all have the power to spread this word like Paul. All we need is to grab ahold of some Holy Ghost boldness, and put the devil back in his corner.
Paul ends chapter 15 with his future travel plans from Jerusalem to Spain. Doing the work of God and ministering in whatever way he could. Bringing a special offering to those in need. Paul always saw the cup as half full. Looking for those that would pray with him for the will of God, that all would be of a happy heart and able to encourage each other.
I believe Paul was talking about R.E.A.L. men....
