9 We as believers should get along and share the love ofChrist with each other. We should not look to divide from brothers in Christbut look to support the Way. There are many today who are not willing to greatpast their problems or disagreements with other Christians so, they form a newchurch. A church should not be formed out of pity differences and there is away to handle these differences. Martin Luther was one of the first to breakaway from the Catholic church he did these after telling them their wrongs andthem not changing their ways. We may be faced with a church not living to God’sstandards and not listen to us for telling them, they are not of this one mindbecause they seek after something other than His word and truth.

10 We have all received gifts from God to serve Him and addgrowth to the faith. We should serve with the gifts He has given us and prayfor chances to serve Him more with these gifts. We should not try to do thingsHe has not gifted us to do if He does not lead us to. We should always look toserve Him by following Him to where He leads us.

Clark: To be honest I have seldom seen these verses being put to use. In all the churches we pastored Iwe very seldom were invited to dinner or had much given to our family, Pastor Appreation Month was usually a card and a thank you for being our pastor. People just dont consider how lonley the pastors family can be. But we had every family for dinner at least once while we there in ministry. So we need to be loving ans invite other church members into our homes and show genuine love. Good topic.
