Haman, like kids, they have an eye for an eye sort of mentality.
Like, he hurt me, I'm going to hurt them.
Look, let me give practical examples of how this could play out in the life of Bible-believing Christians.
Let's say we come back from soul winning,
and your soul-winning partner got somebody saved and you didn't,
and you're upset about it.
I wanted to get him saved.
You're acting like a little kid.
Or somebody else got more salvation than you.
You're acting like a little kid.
Or you find out somebody reads the Bible more than you, and you're upset about it.
It's like, what's wrong with you?
You're acting like a little kid.
Somebody else gets more praise than you, and you're upset about it.
You're envious.
Yeah, that's a sin.
It's like, get over it.
Right?
Or somebody sits in your chair at church.
I mean, obviously, if you're a regular member here, you have your general seat that you sit in.
And we've got a first time guest that sits in your seat.
Can you believe she sat in my seat?
That's my seat.
I mean, look, these are nice chairs.
They're comfortable.
Just sit somewhere else.
Man, I've heard of churches that don't have chairs.
They sit on the floor.
I mean, what's the big deal?
But literally, these are the sorts of things that make people mad
and cause divisions in church and friction.
Being very moody about something very small.
Look, you've got to learn in life to control your emotions
because if you let your life be run by emotions,
you're going to destroy your life.
You know why a lot of people don't like a church like this?
Because they can't control their own emotions.
They get so mad at something Brother Stuckey says.
It's like, look, when the Word of God is preached,
like, yeah, all of us are guilty of things at times,
and you're like, yeah, I'm going to say something that offends you.
And if you're not going to come to church because it bothers you so much,
it's because you're a little kid.
