THE ENEMY

“That there should be no schism in the body; but that the members should have the same care one for another.” —1 Corinthians 12:25

Pat Riley is credited as the coach that transformed the Los Angles Lakers into a consist championship basketball team. Riley wrote a book titled, “The Winner Within.” In one chapter he writes about “The Enemy Me”. Riley says, When ME becomes more important than WE, the team ultimate loses. It doesn’t matter how much ability a person may have—If his team don’t win, it is a waste of talent.

That is a great principle for us at Bible Baptist Church. To consistently win in cause of Christ, WE need to work together as a TEAM, and not be concerned about who gets the credit!

The Apostle Paul recognized he could not succeed without the help of other believers. He was always crediting his co-workers in the success of his ministry (read Romans 16; 1 Corinthians 16:10-12, 15-20; Colossians 4:7-15).

The church is like a body (1 Cor. 12). We are co-laborers in the ministry. Therefore, we must realize we all have a part in making the increase of the church (Eph. 4:16)!

Let’s get in our place and work together for the glory of God!
