I must admit, I'm guilty of showing favoritism towards my friends.
But regarding your particular situation this is what the Bible says.
James 2:1
My brothers, show no partiality as you hold the faith in our Lord Jesus Christ, the Lord of glory
James 2:9
But if you show partiality, you are committing sin and are convicted by the law as transgressors.
Galatians 3:28
There is neither Jew nor Greek, there is neither slave nor free, there is no male and female, for you are all one in Christ Jesus.
Deuteronomy 10:17
For the Lord your God is God of gods and Lord of lords, the great, the mighty, and the awesome God, who is not partial and takes no bribe.
James 2:5
Listen, my beloved brothers, has not God chosen those who are poor in the world to be rich in faith and heirs of the kingdom, which he has promised to those who love him?
Romans 12:2
Do not be conformed to this world, but be transformed by the renewal of your mind, that by testing you may discern what is the will of God, what is good and acceptable and perfect
I hope this helps

I guess your talking about people in the church?? All people in the church are eqaul. God is no respector of persons. There should be no people in the church trying to make themselves out as better than others. The bible says we are all priest.
The people in the church shouldn't be sitting back thinking others have more gofts or powers from God than they do. All people are to learn of God then go out and do more than he did as the word tells you.
The ones putting themselves on their own man made thrones will be knocked down soon. The ones sitting in the pews and not taking on their rightly places and doing as God has instructed both will held accountable.

People in high places trade on favors. They favor those who are obsequious towards them. Things have gotten to the point that favoritism has overcome good sense, and leaders do as they do regardless of the eventual outcome. They like to be fawned over, and favor those who do so.
The problem with this is that there is no real responsibility towards the country, government, company, workers, whatever. Whenever gaining favor is the main, or even in some cases the sole motivation for what one does, wisdom will not be in evidence at all. The eventual outcome will be ruin.

Favoritism is partiality or bias towards another person. It is FAVOR given to another person, undeserved. I say UNdeserved, because if it WAS deserved, then it would be wisdom...to give repsonsibility to someone that has proven themselves worthy is to use wisdom. To give favor to someone, without bias/partiality/favoritism that does not deserve it is called grace...giving them either a second chance or opportunity to learn.
