The only way we can practice the one accord and thus keep the oneness of the Spirit in the practical church life is to emphasize and speak only one thing: God’s economy, the eternal economy of God.

Speaking and Teaching the Economy of God Preserves us in the Oneness and One Accord
In His Ascension Christ was Enthroned to Execute God’s Administration and Carry out His Economy
