I, therefore, a prisoner for the Lord, urge you to walk in a manner worthy of the calling to which you have been called, 2with all humility and gentleness, with patience, bearing with one another in love, 3eager to maintain the unity of the Spirit in the bond of peace. (Ephesians 4:1-3) God Sent His Spirit Unity. It’s an attractive word. There is a sense […]

Read More About That Quote: TogetherThey always look to see how they can divide us. They know that if they can get us out of step with each other it will cause critical vulnerabilities.
