The ultimate witness to the world is the love believers have for one another in the life of the church. How do we maintain harmony? Most churches do not have brotherhood. They do not pursue brotherhood. Instead, they have either individualism (everyone does what works for them) or they have family first (whatever works for my family matters more than what works for the group). Brotherhood only works when the church is a team. The church must be a team. The effectiveness of the church depends on the spirit with which its work is done. In Acts 6, the apostles asked the body to contribute to the solution. When there is an offense or when no trust between leaders and the body, no life flows. In brotherhood, we both speak and listen. Lack of listening and lack of agreement is a lack of love problem. Nothing is more powerful than love and unity. Too often in church life, people are trying to figure out who is on their side. This is not love and this is not right.
