The proposed document discusses changes to the bylaws for the FSBC North Hollywood church. It proposes changing the quorum requirement from 10 active members to 15 active members. It also states that the church clerk will document the number of active members annually.
The second document discusses showing favoritism and forming cliques in church. It cautions against judging people by their appearance or wealth. Playing favorites violates the commandment to love others and is a sin. The document also notes God chooses the poor of the world to be heirs to his kingdom. Favoritism will be judged harshly as well. Christians should speak and act in a way that shows mercy to all.

Agape is godly love, phileo is brotherly love, Storge is family love, Eros is sexual love, Eros is not used in the bible. Peter and his denying the Lord three times and he is asked by Jesus two times if he loves Him with Agape love. Peter responds with phileo love. The third time Jesus asked him if he loved him with phileo love. It grieved Peter that he asked him the third time with phileo rather than agape. Why is agape love so difficult for us?

7. “Thinking life will be fair is
like thinking the Lion won’t

eat him…”

preacher alike
9. “My brethren, do not hold your faith in our
glorious Lord Jesus Christ with an attitude of
personal favoritism. 2 For if a man comes into
your assembly with a gold ring and dressed in
fine clothes, and there also comes in a poor
man in dirty clothes, 3 and you pay special
attention to the one who is wearing the fine
clothes, and say, “You sit here in a good place,”
and you say to the poor man, “You stand over
there, or sit down by my footstool,” 4 have you
10. not made distinctions among yourselves, and
become judges with evil motives? 5 Listen, my
beloved brethren: did not God choose the poor
of this world to be rich in faith and heirs of the
kingdom which He promised to those who love
Him? 6 But you have dishonored the poor man.
Is it not the rich who oppress you and
personally drag you into court? 7 Do they not
blaspheme the fair name by which you have
been called?
11. 8 If, however, you are fulfilling the royal law
according to the Scripture, “YOU SHALL LOVE
YOUR NEIGHBOR ASYOURSELF,” you are doing well.
9 But if you show partiality, you are committing
sin and are convicted by the law as
transgressors. 10 For whoever keeps the whole
law and yet stumbles in one point, he has
become guilty of all. 11 For He who said, “DO
NOT COMMIT ADULTERY,” also said, “DO NOT
COMMIT MURDER.” Now if you do not commit
12. adultery, but do commit murder, you have
become a transgressor of the law. 12 So speak
and so act as those who are to be judged by
the law of liberty. 13 For judgment will be
merciless to one who has shown no mercy;
mercy triumphs over judgment.”
James 2:1-13, NASB

the poor

the poor were unwanted
16. “27Therefore whoever eats the bread or
drinks the cup of the Lord in an unworthy
manner, shall be guilty of the body and the
blood of the Lord… 33 So then, my brethren,
when you come together to eat, wait for one
another. 34 If anyone is hungry, let him eat at
home, so that you will not come together for
judgment.”
1 Corinthians 11:27,33-34, NASB
17. A. Cliques in the Church…

not show partiality to the poor or favoritism to the

of the wise:To show partiality in
judging is not good…”

you pay special attention to the one who is
wearing the fine clothes, and say, “You sit here
in a good place,” and you say to the poor man,
“You stand over there, or sit down by my
footstool,” 4 have you not made distinctions
among yourselves, and become judges with evil
motives?” James 2:2-4, NASB

•The word “assembly” is the Greek word
for synagogue– the place you choose
to meet in for worship
•We have a tendency to judge a book by its cover…
•We also sometimes assume folks are super-
spiritual simply by the way they speak
•Both are wrong– Even Samuel was fooled by
Jesse’s oldest son, by his appearance…
21. “But the LORD said to Samuel, ‘Do not look at
his appearance or at the height of his stature,
because I have rejected him; for God sees not
as man sees, for man looks at the outward
appearance, but the LORD looks at the heart.’”
1 Samuel 16:7, NASB
