SPIRITUAL HARMONY

The amazing ant colony illustrates harmony within community.  Proverbs 6:6-8; 30:24-25  Have you ever watched closely a trail of ants going back and forth gathering their food?

Harmony is not unison.  Unison – sounding the same note; performing the same part; uttering the same words at the same time  Unity – oneness; one in spirit, sentiment or purpose; complete- ness; agreement; concord; arrangement of parts producing a design or effect

Harmony is not unison.  Harmony – a combination of parts into a pleasing or orderly whole; a state of agreement or proportionate arrangement; simultaneous sounding of various tones in an ear- satisfying arrangement

Harmony is not unison.  Like the physical body, the spiritual body by design is to be a harmonious body.  1 Corinthians 12:14-27

 “Blest be the tie that binds Our hearts in Christian love; The fellow- ship of kindred minds Is like to that above.”  “How sweet, how heav’nly is the sight, When those that love the Lord In one another’s peace delight, And so fulfill the word.... When love in one delightful stream Thru ev’ry bosom flows; When union sweet and dear esteem in ev’ry action glows.”

 “We are sharing now together, Precious kinship in our Lord. May our care be true and tender, In the harmony of love.”

Spiritual harmony in the Lord’s church is a delicate balance that requires diligent attention.  1 John 1:6-7  Colossians 3:17  Ephesians 4:16  Ephesians 5:21  Galatians 5:13  Ephesians 4:32  1 Peter 3:8-9
