Eleven Excellent
Rules to Promote Harmony Among Church Members
* Remember that we are all subject to failings of one kind or another.
* Bear with one another and do not magnify each other’s infirmities
(Galatians 6:1, 2).
* Pray for one another publicly and privately (James 5:16).
* Avoid going from house to house for the purpose of gossiping and
interfering with other people’s business.
* Always turn a deaf ear to any slanderous report and lay no charge
against any person until well founded.
* If a member be in fault, go to him in private, before it is mentioned
to others.
* Observe Solomon’s advice to leave off contention before it explodes
(Proverbs17:14).
* If a member has offended you, consider how Godlike it is to forgive,
and how unlike a Christian it is to seek revenge.
* Remember that it is a major tactic of the devil to promote distance
and animosities among members of the church; we should therefore watch
against everything that furthers this end
* Consider how much more good we could do in the world in general and in
the church in particular, if we are united instead of divided.
* Lastly, consider soberly the impassioned prayer of Jesus, “that they
may all be one” (John 17:21-23).

God’s Word
James 5:16-20 NKJV
16 Confess your trespasses to one another, and pray for one another,
that you may be healed. The effective, fervent prayer of a righteous
man avails much.
17 Elijah was a man with a nature like ours, and he prayed earnestly
that it would not rain; and it did not rain on the land for three
years and six months.
18 And he prayed again, and the heaven gave rain, and the earth
produced its fruit.
19 Brethren, if anyone among you wanders from the truth, and someone
turns him back,
20 let him know that he who turns a sinner from the error of his way
will save a soul from death and cover a multitude of sins.
