Pray this Lazaroo in holy fear:

“…without…disputing.”
(1 Timothy 2:8)

You’re not commanding Your Church to be only “yes people,” Jesus.

We’re allowed to disagree, to share alternative views
so long as they’re based on Your Word
and not mere opinion.

But what You forbid is disputing – argumentative disagreement –

the kind that is disrespectful, disruptive, disorderly.

Disputing destroys the unity of Your Church
which is so crucial to Your mission!

Show me how to respectfully offer a different view

while trusting You for the outcome.

Pray this Lazaroo all the way to the marrow of your bones:

“She also gave some to her husband…”
(Genesis 3:6)

It’s seldom enough to sin all by ourselves, is it, Jesus?

We have to entice others to sin
so we don’t feel so all alone.

We can attempt to fool ourselves into believing if others do it too

it’s not so bad.

But it still is.

And the punishment for those who drag others down with them
is worse.

Of course, there’s an alternative:

Don’t sin in the first place.
