Peter and Paul have issues here and Peter is corrected by Paul. Peter was fearing man more then God. God had already shown Peter that the Gentiles were to be accepted into the church through a heavenly vision in Acts 10. Peter was even dragging other church leaders into sin with him.
We can get into the same type of hypocracy if we are not careful. Clicks form between members of the body all the time because we like to hang out and be around like minded people. But when we begin to do this and shune those within the church that don't have your gifting or upbringing or heritage, then we sin against the body of Christ. We bring division instead of unity.
Use this example to love one another and promote unity within our family. Expose division as the sin it is and don't fear any man if they are in sin. We need to honor God first.
Pastor Patrick
