And now, Admonition, brought to you by the Collierville Church of Christ.
Is it always easy to get along with other Christians? No. No, it’s not, but it is something we need to strive to do. Paul writes to the Church at Philippi in chapter four verse one and says, Therefore, my beloved and longed-for brethren, my joy and crown, so stand fast in the Lord, beloved. I implore Euodia and I implore Syntyche to be of the same mind in the Lord. And I urge you also, true companion, help these women who labored with me in the Gospel.
Here are two women who at one point labored with Paul in the Gospel teaching others, and now they’re at odds with one another and Paul implores them to be of the same mind in Christ. We need to work hard to be of the same mind in Christ with all Christians and to get along for the Gospel’s sake.
