it seems in our families we usually do the opposite of what philippians 1.2 (ms) says. instead of trying to agree with each other, we tend to disagree with each other. that comes from our human immaturity but at some point paul is saying we need to grow up.
he says in verse 1 (ms), if you've gotten anything at all out of following CHRIST, if HIS love has made any difference in your life...agree with each other.
do you know where that kind of attitude comes from? HIS love. if we have HIS love we don't have a self love which has to be right all the time. and if you don't have to be right all the time then you can agree because in everything that is said there is something we can agree with.
understand, with HIS love the other person is more important than being right from your perspective. if you've gotten anything at all out of following CHRIST, if HIS love has made any difference in your life...agree with each other...
just a thought from the front porch...
