One
Mind And One Voice
We who are strong ought
to bear with the failings of the weak and not to please ourselves. Each of us
should please our neighbors for their good, to build them up. For even Christ
did not please himself but, as it is written: “The insults of those who insult
you have fallen on me.” For everything that was written in the past was written
to teach us, so that through the endurance taught in the Scriptures and the
encouragement they provide we might have hope.
May the God who gives
endurance and encouragement give you the same attitude of mind toward each
other that Christ Jesus had, so that with one mind and one voice you may
glorify the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ.
Accept one another, then, just as Christ
accepted you, in order to bring praise to God.
Romans
15:1-7
We are working hard to
make sure students are lifting each other up, rather than tearing them down.
Paul reminded people
that their hearts should be concerned with pleasing others, not pleasing themselves. He said, “Even Christ did not please Himself.”
Jesus served.
Join the campaign that
loves others despite our differences – you’ll bring praise to God.
Kindness
is simply love flowing out in little gentlenesses.
