Christian Walk

Contributed by Rev. Dr. Leslie Verghese on Sep 6, 2018

Walk in Unity

As we enter Chapter 4 of Ephesians, it gives us a beautiful example of how Paul admonishes a Christian to WALK. (1) Unity (4:1-16). (2) Purity (4:17-5:17). (3) Harmony (5:18-6:9). (4) Victory.

Unity In The Body Series

Contributed by Doug Fannon on Jul 16, 2018

We are called to unity, not just to be together. No one was ever called to walk this Christian life alone. Every member of the body is responsible to maintain the unity. We maintain unity by individually and collectively keeping our focus on Jesus.

Concerning unity in the church, one of my favorit commentators and Christian authors, A.W. Tozer, the great evangelist and Christian theologian from 60 years ago, commented: Has it ever occurred to you that one hundred pianos all tuned to the same tuning fork are automatically tuned to each other? ...read more
