Christianity Quote by Russ Kennedy
““If there are differences and divisions, let them be healed by counsel, by careful words of loving confrontation that bring repentance in the heart. May none of God’s people have to know what it is like to have someone they worship with turn on them with wounding words. If you have a complaint against anyone, you must, for the sake of your soul and the sake of gospel unity and the sake of Christ, go to them. May there be no gossip, no hidden anger or bitterness. “May our lives be all covered with that harvest of righteousness that Jesus Christ produces to the glory of God.” (Philippians 1:11) (Moffatt 1922).””
