“Only let your manner of life be worthy of the gospel of Christ, so that whether I come and see you or am absent, I may hear of you that you are standing firm in one spirit, with one mind striving side by side for the faith of the gospel,”‭‭Philippians‬ ‭1:27‬ ‭ESV‬‬

All,
This stands out because Paul says, “I may hear of you that you are standing firm in one spirit”. How do we stand firm in one Spirit when we emphasize the differences so much? Do we build relationships on what we have in common and then pray about the issues where we differ? Can we see everyone one as a child of God whether they realize it or not? Bill Curry inspired us yesterday to spread the love of Christ especially to the people that are “different” from us. How else will they know the love of Christ? It doesn’t mean that we will agree or condone every action that they take, but we can walk with them and pray with them and seek a relationship with Christ together in hopes we will both know Christ better. Please pray that we and our friends see every one as a child of God today and especially pray for the ones we who don’t know Christ. Please pray for the CLC men to follow the nudge today to speak to their friend about CLC.
