Unity Of Faith

 Gifts of the Spirit should not be abused for self-satisfaction, nor should they be used to indulge in ungodly, emotional experiences. The gifts of the Spirit are given to help equip other believers in their spiritual service, to edify the Body of Christ, and to help to perfect each member of the Church for the particular ministry to which God has called them.
 The ultimate goal is to bring all believers into the Unity Of Faith and a knowledge of the Son of God so that the Body of Christ becomes spiritually mature as we are daily being conformed into a measure of the stature of the fullness of Christ until He is all in all. But the maturing believer should never forget: Faith comes by hearing, and hearing by the Word of God.
 Although much of the Church has fallen into gross abandonment, let us seek to use our own spiritual gifts, to develop unity in the faith, to increase in a knowledge of the Son of God, and to bring all believers into spiritual maturity. May the Word of God become the single direction for truth, for teaching, for reproof, for correction, and for instruction in righteousness in our own lives. May the Word of God remain the only foundation upon which our faith is built, to His greater praise and glory.
Instead, speaking the truth in love, we will grow to become in every respect the mature body of him who is the head, that is, Christ.

Our United Prayer:
Heavenly Father, we are aware that there are many in the Church that are abusing the precious gifts of the Spirit and distorting the Word of truth. Help us to study to show ourselves approved unto God and work the works of God in our lives for the edification of the Body of Christ and for the greater glory of the Lord Jesus Himself. To Him be all the honor and glory forever and ever, AMEN.
