The genuine one accord in the church is the practice of the oneness of the Body, which is the oneness of the Spirit; we already have the oneness, we just need to keep it, spend it, apply it, and practice it so that we may be in one accord. This week in our deeper consideration […]
The Genuine one Accord in the Church is the Practice of the Oneness of the Body of Christ
Having the One Accord among God’s People Formed as an Army by Living in the Spirit
In Numbers 31 we see a beautiful picture of the one accord among God’s people who had been formed into an army ready for battle; it is a picture of the one accord we should practice in the church life today. In the church life we experience something very similar to what the children of […]
