Scripture: May the God of endurance and encouragement grant you to live in such harmony with one another, in accord with Christ Jesus, (Romans 15:5 ESV)

Observation: Our culture today treats "religion" as something that divides people.  

Application: We are the Body of Christ and we are called to love and serve one another.  Avoid gossip, slander, etc. and do not let the sun go down on your anger.  Love one another as Christ loved the church.  When this is put into action,  instead of people thinking of "Christians" as rule following, judgemental, fanatics, they will be viewed as loving, committed, passionate people who love others more than themselves, their time, their money, etc.  it's not "religiion". It's a relationship with God.

Prayer: Daddy, help me avoid gossip, slander, and anger.  Let me seek first Your kingdom, Your will, and make those things my desire.   Amen!
