Scripture: Philippians 4:2-3
“Ideally . . . the church is not made up of natural ‘friends.’ It is made up of natural enemies. What binds us together as the church is not common education, common race, common income levels, common politics, common nationality, common accents, common jobs, or anything else of that sort. Christian come together . . . because . . . they have all been loved by Jesus himself. They are a band of natural enemies who love one another for Jesus’ sake.”
Donald Carson
“When the grace of Jesus sinks in, we will be among the least offended and most loving people in the world.”
Scott Sauls
“Better is open rebuke than hidden love. Faithful are the wounds of a friend; deceitful are the kisses of an enemy . . . Iron sharpens iron, and one man sharpens another.”
Proverbs 27: 5-6, 17
