Daily Prayer for May 12th, 2020
Good morning, God—thank you! 🙂
I desire to maintain the union of the Spirit in the bond of peace. There is power in unity in the body of Christ. I want to run from controversy, and steer clear of anyone who stirs up a division. Such persons do not serve you. In Jesus’ name. Amen.
3 If anyone teaches a different doctrine and does not agree with the sound words of our Lord Jesus Christ and the teaching that accords with godliness, 4 he is puffed up with conceit and understands nothing. He has an unhealthy craving for controversy and for quarrels about words, which produce envy, dissension, slander, evil suspicions, 5 and constant friction among people who are depraved in mind and deprived of the truth, imagining that godliness is a means of gain.
18 For such persons do not serve our Lord Christ, but their own appetites, and by smooth talk and flattery they deceive the hearts of the naive.
10 As for a person who stirs up division, after warning him once and then twice, have nothing more to do with him,
3 eager to maintain the unity of the Spirit in the bond of peace.
