"For you, brethren, have been called to liberty; only do not use liberty as an opportunity for the flesh, but through love serve one another. For all the law is fulfilled in one word, even in this: 'You shall love your neighbor as yourself.' But if you bite and devour one another, beware lest you be consumed by one another! (Gal. 5:13-15)

In one of the Peanuts cartoons, Snoopy had broken his leg, and perched on top of his dog house, he said, "My body blames my foot for not being able to go places. My foot says it was my head's fault, and my head blamed my eyes. My eyes say my feet are clumsy, and my right foot says not to blame him for what my left foot did." Snoopy then looks directly at his audience and says, "I don't say anything because I don't want to get involved."

Charles Shultz, the editor of the Peanuts cartoons, through Snoopy, accurately displayed how things are in many congregations today. Instead of practicing positive Christianity, many are biting and devouring other members, while others are doing nothing positive to help the situation because they don't want to get involved.
