1 Corinthians 1:10, I appeal to you, brothers, in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ, that all of you agree with one another so that there may be no divisions among you and that you may be perfectly united in mind and thought.

 

One of the greatest needs of the modern church is to have a peaceful spirit in the church.

 

It is a serious matter to create discord in the family of God. When churches bicker, it saps their energy, it quenches the spirit, and it negates their testimony.

​

Paul wrote to Titus about the importance of maintaining harmony in the church. This is the conclusion of his letter to this leader of the church on the island of Crete.

His final emphasis on unity is one that we need to take to heart.

​

But avoid foolish controversies and genealogies and arguments and quarrels about the law, because these are unprofitable and useless.   Warn a divisive person once, and then warn him a second time. After that, have nothing to do with him. You may be sure that such a man is warped and sinful; he is self-condemned.  
Titus 3:9
