Hold Your Tongue...

Even fools are thought wise if they keep silent, and discerning if they hold their tongues. ~ Proverbs 17:28 (NIV)

Unity...

I appeal to you, brothers, in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ, that all of you agree with one another so that there may be no divisions among you and that you may be perfectly united in mind and thought. ~ 1 Corinthians 1:10 (NIV 1984)

He is Faithful and Just...

If we [freely] admit that we have sinned and confess our sins, He is faithful and just (true to His own nature and promises) and will forgive our sins [dismiss our lawlessness] and [continuously] cleanse us from all unrighteousness [everything not in conformity to His will in purpose, thought, and action]. ~ 1 John 1:9 (AMPC)

Live in Harmony

I appeal to you, dear brothers and sisters, by the authority of our Lord Jesus Christ, to live in harmony with each other. Let there be no divisions in the church. Rather, be of one mind, united in thought and purpose.
~ 1 Corinthians 1:10 (NLT)

We Live in the World

3 For though we live in the world, we do not wage war as the world does. 4 The weapons we fight with are not the weapons of the world. On the contrary, they have divine power to demolish strongholds.5 We demolish arguments and every pretension that sets itself up against the knowledge of God, and we take captive every thought to make it obedient to Christ. ~ 2 Corinthians 10:3-5 (NIV)

Be United

God's Weapons

Defiance Doesn't Make Sense

A wicked man puts up a bold front, but an upright man gives thought to his ways. ~ Proverbs 21:29 (NIV 1984)
