Galatians 5:13-15

¹⁵ But if you are always biting and devouring one another, watch out! Beware of destroying one another.

Do you ever feel like using biting words with someone you are having a problem with?  Do you ever use the power you have in your life to devour someone else?  I think this is something that we as humans have always struggled with.   Anytime we have power in our lives, we are tempted to use that power to push someone down instead of lifting them up.  We have freedom in Christ that allows us to do wonderful things, Kingdom building things, but with this also comes the ability to tear down the Kingdom with our selfish actions.  I encountered this temptation just this week.  Check out the video to hear the story of this temptation and why I am thankful for this study. 

Discussion Questions:

1. Whom are you tempted to bite at and devour? 
2. What can you do to use the freedom you have in Christ to love someone today?
