True worship in the church should be an expression of corporate unity.
True shepherds protect their flocks | Jim Savastio
“Some men love to fight and are drawn to controversy. I assert that such a spirit is not encouraged in the bible. There are times, however, when the glory of God and the authority of truth and the safety of the flock demands that pastors take a forceful stand.”

Were Adam and Eve Saved? | Ben Carlson
Adam and Eve heard from the mouth of God the first promise of the gospel in Genesis 3:15. But did they believe in it? Did they receive and rest their souls in the promise that the Redeemer would be sent into the world to destroy the devil and reverse the curse and bring in everlasting blessedness?
