(Matthew 18:19,20) God made you to function as members in His kingdom. (Revelation 1:5,6; 1 Corinthians 12:12-20) God gave gifts of apostles, prophets, teachers, evangelists and pastors to EQUIP the saints to do the work of His ministry. (Ephesians 4:11-13) When we gather together in church we answer Jesus' prayer that WE become one as He and the Father are One. (John 17:21) When we gather together in UNITY, God commands a blessing. (Psalm 133)

“Finally, believers, whatever is true, whatever is honorable and worthy of respect, whatever is right and confirmed by God’s word, whatever is pure and wholesome, whatever is lovely and brings peace, whatever is admirable and of good repute; if there is any EXCELLENCE, if there is anything worthy of praise, think continually on these things [center your mind on them, and implant them in your heart].” - Philippians 4:8 AMP
