God's Straightedge

The Gospel of the Kingdom - Message 53 - God's Straightedge - Matthew 7:12. Therefore – this verse goes all the way back to Matt. 7:1. In the context of judging rightly, and seeing how God deals with us – "Ask, seek, knock" – as He gives us good gifts (that we don't deserve), now we see how we are to interact with others. Do to them what we would have them do to us. Keep in mind: Lloyd-Jones tells us that "All the clashes and disturbances and unhappiness in life are due to this – what I want and what the other person wants." It is a battle of fulfilling selfish desires or submission to Christ.
