We are God's church, and His church is to be built of precious materials able to withstand the flame of the refiner's fire. Each one's work will be tested on the day of judgment. Build on the foundation of Christ with pure Christian ministries.
What does it look like to behave spiritually? It is not focused on the actions of mere humans, for we are all nothing more than servants. Our place is this world is not to advance our own agendas; we are all called to advance God's agenda. We may play a tiny role, but ultimately God is in control.
People and personalities are typically the cause of divisions and splits. We must refocus ourselves on a sinless Christ, not sinful men, to be reconciled with God and everything else can follow.
We lack nothing, because we are called by God to be saints together. Our holiness is received not achieved.
As a natural result of sin, there will come times of difficulty. We must be patient and endure, but we also need to understand that all sin is equal. We all start from the same place. Be sure we are not viewing the Bible through a distorted lens, rather using it as a lamp, lighting our way through the darkness and making us wise for salvation.
