Ephesians 4:1-6
1 As a prisoner for the Lord, then, I urge you to live a life worthy of the calling you have received. 2 Be completely humble and gentle; be patient, bearing with one another in love. 3 Make every effort to keep the unity of the Spirit through the bond of peace. 4 There is one body and one Spirit, just as you were called to one hope when you were called; 5 one Lord, one faith, one baptism; 6 one God and Father of all, who is over all and through all and in all.
Unity Killers In The Church:
- We lie to one another.
- We think loving people is making them happy.
- We encourage “false peace.”
- We love our neighbors and not ourselves.
- We’re confused about anger.
- We over-function.
- We are quick to speak, and slow to listen.
- We think differences mean division.
