The tongue, a hindering factor in fostering unity and building deep friendship.

Words spoken

• harshly
• in haste and in anger
• too soon
• carelessly

• How we censure or correct others

• How we respond to correction

Text 2 1 John 4 : 7 - 21

Our attitude

• choosing whom to love
• giving excuses for not loving

The challenge

• to love men as Christ loves them
• to love men as we love ourselves
• to care for them as we care for ourselves

We are one in the Spirit, We are one in the Lord.

And we pray that all UNITY may one day be restored.

And they’ll know we are Christians by our love, by our love.

And they’ll know we are Christians by our love, by our love.

Christian Love is the generator which can power the development of UNITY and

deep friendship.
