'An Oft-Forgotten Principle.'
Matthew 5:23-24.
a) If we bring our gift to the Altar.
b) Then we remember there that our Brother or Sister has something against us.
c) We are to leave our gift before the Altar.
d) We are to go and be reconciled.
e) Then we are to come back and offer our gift.

'It Is Not Easy To Always Be Faithful.'
Revelation 2:10.
a) Jesus encourages us not to be afraid, even though there may be difficult circumstances.
b) We are to be Faithful - even until the point of death.
c) Then Jesus will give us the Crown of Life.
(This Second one reminds me that It Is Not Easy To Always Be Faithful)

Chris.
Then we can freely come back and offer our gift. This passage is referring to our Brother or Sister in Christ. It does not say our Brother or Sister in Church. There are some Churches where there are actually very few True Believers within. Even the Minister may not be a True Believer. We should not remain in such Churches if we are True Believers. The Word 'Christian' can sometimes be treated too vaguely.
