Believers need to understand that, as long as we are created for God’s work, we are also made for each other, as we are the Body of Christ. Scripture says in Eph 4:1-4 “I therefore, the prisoner for the Lord, appeal to and beg you to walk (lead a life) worthy of the [divine] calling to which you have been called [with behavior that is a credit to the summons to God’s service, living as becomes you] with complete lowliness of mind (humility) and meekness (unselfishness, gentleness, mildness) with patience, bearing with one another and making allowances because you love one another. Always keep yourselves united in the Holy Spirit and bind yourselves together with peace. We are all one body, we have the same spirit and we have all been called to the same glorious future…… No one is useless in the kingdom, we...

After several questions, Debby tried to calm her down so they could go home. They arrived at paula’s house 45 minutes later, she was still sober and refusing to speak.

He is the father of darkness; evil plight and vices are his agents. His bosom is in the atmosphere of disruption, damnation, disappointments, failures, sorrows, anxiety, shame and reproach.
