  8. Not unity above all else. -> lowest common denominator • We cannot be unified unless we come to the point, individually, where we are no longer bothered by the intentional or unintentional offenses from others—especially our spiritual brothers and sisters.

  9. PHIL 2:2 make my joy complete by being of the same mind, maintaining the same love, united in spirit, intent on one purpose. 3 Do nothing from selfishness or empty conceit, but with humility of mind regard one another as more important than yourselves; 4 do not merely look out for your own personal interests, but also for the interests of others. 5 Have this attitude in yourselves which was also in Christ Jesus, It never retaliates or reacts or revenges anything done to itself, only God. HEB 6:13 For when God made the promise to Abraham, since He could swear by no one greater, He swore by Himself, 14 saying, “I WILL SURELY BLESS YOU AND I WILL SURELY MULTIPLY YOU.” 15 And so, having patiently waited, he obtained the promise. (Noah, 120 years) 1 PETER 4:8 Above all, keep fervent in your love for one another, because love covers a multitude of sins. 1 THES 5:14 We urge you, brethren, admonish the unruly, encourage the fainthearted, help the weak, be patient with everyone. MT5:44But I say unto you, love your enemies, bless them that curse you, do good to them that hate you, and pray for them that despitefully use you and persecute you,

  10. Members of: THE BODY Romans 12:5so we, being many, are one body in Christ, and every one members one of another. 1 Corinthians 12:20But now there are many members, yet but one body. 1 Corinthians 12:25so that there may be no division in the body, but that the members may have the same care for one another. Phil 1:9 (love) I pray, that your love may abound still more and more in real knowledge and all discernment,

  11. Jeremiah 9:23,24 Thus says the LORD, “Let not a wise man boast of his wisdom, and let not the mighty man boast of his might, let not a rich man boast of his riches; but let him who boasts boast of this, that he understands and knows Me, that I am the LORD who exercises loving kindness, justice and righteousness on earth; for I delight in these things,” declares the LORD.
