1 Samuel 16:1-23; Isaiah 55:1-56:8; Romans 2:1-29
With all lowliness and gentleness, with longsuffering, bearing one another in love. Ephesians 4:2 NKJV
Have you ever wondered how to maintain unity and harmony in your relationships with fellow believers? Many years ago, Christopher Willis, former missionary to China, was walking with a friend who asked, “Christopher, what is the difference between lowliness of mind and meekness?” He replied, “I don’t know.” His companion replied, “Lowliness of mind will never give offense. Meekness will never take offense.” May we take this gentle admonition to heart: Seek never to give offense and as much as possible seek never to take offense. —David A. Dunlap
When a Christian shuns fellowship with other Christians, the devil smiles, when he stops studying the Bible, the devil laughs, when he stops praying, the devil jumps for joy. —Corrie Ten Boom
