Sermon

There is a need that we get
along with others. Andrew
Carnegie is reported to have said
he would pay more to a man for
the ability to get along with
other people than for any other
characteristic. Especially do we
who are Christians need to he
able to get along with other
Christians. The Apostle Paul
wrote to the Philippian church -
eff there is therefore any eN-
hortation in Christ, if any con-
ISOLATION of love, if any fellow
ship of the Spirit, if any tender
mercies and compositions, make
full my joy, that we be of the
same mind; doing nothing
through faction or through vain
glory, but in lowliness of mind
each counting other better than
himself; not looking each of you
to his own things, but each CT
you also to the things of others
Have this mind in you, which
was also in Christ Jesus: who
existing in the form of God
counted not the being on an
equality with God thing to Ne
grasped, but emptied himself
taking the form of a servant
being made in the likeness of
men; and being found in fashion
as a man, he humbled himself
becoming obedient even unto
death, yea. the death of the cross
Wherefore also God highly ex-
allied him, and gave unto him the
name which is above every name
that in the name of Jesus every
knee should bow, of things y
heaven and things on earth and
things under the earth, and that
every tongue should confess that
Jesus Christ is Lord. to the glory
of God the Father" philippians
2:1-1D
In Philippians Al he said e
two fellow Christians: II exhort
Euodia, and I exhort Syntyche
to be of the same mind in the
Lord"
How are we to be of the same
mind if we disagree? Two things
are necessary:
(D A fair way of making
up our collective mind.
(2) A willingness to abide by
the decision and then to love
those who we still think are
wrong. Thus we still disagree on
the matter but we do agree that
we Will not break our unity OF
fellowship nor lose patience with
those we think are wrong. Ir
