“Now may the God of endurance and encouragement grant you agreement with one another, according to Christ Jesus, so that you may glorify the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ with a united mind and voice.” - Romans 15:6

“Remember upon the conduct of each depends the fate of all.” - Alexander the Great

Have you ever been in a church choir where the choir director and the accompanist were at odds with each other? It’s not a fun place to be. Before long, choir members begin to see the power struggle going on and they often are forced to either take sides with the director or accompanist, continually ignore the strife filled situation, or take a prolonged hiatus from the choir. Sometimes, the problems even grow so large that people end up leaving the church.

How must it grieve our Lord when there is intense disunity among His people who are supposed to be serving and glorifying Him. As we work together to serve and worship the Lord, let us equally strive to be in unity of mind and heart.

Lord, help us grow closer to each other as we grow closer to You.
