Why Do You Put Up Walls?
Many of us have areas of weakness or vulnerability through which the enemy can enter and defeat us. Thus, we build up walls as our means of defense. However, these walls are divisive and destructive to communication and unity. The day will come when we do not need walls, and when the enemy comes against us, as he came against Christ, he will find nothing in us (John 14:30).
How Much Do We Tolerate?
In the oneness of our Kingdom relationships, there are important questions to be resolved. How much do we tolerate in ourselves and in our brother? How much should we stand against what is wrong in ourselves and in others? But the greatest question is this: how much do we strengthen and bless one another as we see the changes each of us is making toward becoming conformed to the image of Christ (Romans 8:29)? Where do we conform? What do we tolerate? What do we oppose?
“In One Spirit, With One Mind” — Philippians 1:27
As we relate to one another in the Kingdom, the basic unity is our united faith in the confirmed words that have come to each of us. Everyone faces the same problem: you must believe the word that has come over your own life and you must believe the word that has come over your brother’s life. “In one spirit, with one mind.”
