Philippians 2:1-8, “So if there is any encouragement in Christ, any comfort from love, any participation in the Spirit, any affection and sympathy, 2 complete my joy by being of the same mind, having the same love, being in full accord and of one mind. 3 Do nothing from selfish ambition or conceit, but in humility count others more significant than yourselves. 4 Let each of you look not only to his own interests, but also to the interests of others. 5 Have this mind among yourselves, which is yours in Christ Jesus, 6 who, though he was in the form of God, did not count equality with God a thing to be grasped, 7 but emptied himself, by taking the form of a servant, being born in the likeness of men. 8 And being found in human form, he humbled himself by becoming obedient to the point of death, even death on a cross.”

 

It is difficult to be at peace with a large group of people. In fact, I would say it is only through supernatural obedience to God and His design for His children, that we will have peace and unity. As we continue to mature in are walk, grow in our understanding, and be sanctified in our inner man, we will see the fruit of continued unity within His Body. Let us strive to glorify God with our lives, with our love, and in our unity within the family at IBC.
