The Cooperation

"I urge Euodia and I urge Syntyche to live in harmony in the Lord."
Philippians 4:2

Paul did not urge these two church ladies to sing the same note, but to sing off the same page and harmonize with one another. Harmony in the church doesn't come from always agreeing with one another. It comes from deferring to one another.

Paul called on these two worthy women to defer to one another. Praying for one another increases the capacity of two people to merge with one another. When opinions collide, Prayer Warriors prefer to defer.

NOTE TO SELF: There is a huge difference between “Die heretic!” and “You may be right.” The first leads to annihilation. The second leaves room for cooperation. When you find yourself caught between the crossfire of two different opinions, pray for people to have the urge to merge.

TALK LESS! PRAY MORE!
