WEDGES Romans 12:10 “Be devoted to one another in love. Honor one another above yourselves.” NIV John 17:11;22 “Holy Father, protect them by the power of your name, the name you gave me, so that they may be one as we are one. 22 I have given them the glory that you gave me, that they may be one as we are one.” NIV Psalm 133:1-3 “Behold, how good and how pleasant it is For God’s People to dwell together in unity! 2 It is like the precious oil upon the head, running down on the beard, The beard of Aaron, Running down on the edge of his garments.3 … For there the Lord commands the blessing—Life forevermore.” NKJ James 3:16 “For wherever there is jealousy and selfish ambition, there you will find disorder and evil of every kind.” NLT John 10:10 “The thief comes only to steal and kill and destroy; I have come that they may have life, and have it to the full.” NIV • Really forgive and refuse to become offended. Colossians 3:13 “Bear with each other and forgive one another…Forgive as the Lord forgave you.” NIV Proverbs 19:11 “It is to one’s glory to overlook an offense.” NIV Luke 23:34 “Jesus said, “Father, forgive them, for they do not know what they are doing.” NIV Luke 17:1 “Then He said to the disciples, “It is impossible that no offenses should come…” NKJV Proverbs 18:19 “A brother wronged is more unyielding than a fortified city; disputes are like the barred gates of a citadel.” NIV Hebrews 12:15 “See to it that no one falls short of the grace of God and that no bitter root grows up to cause trouble and defile many.” NIV 1. Bring their balance to zero. Matthew 18:34  In anger his master handed him over to the jailers to be tormented, until he should pay back all he owed. NIV 2. The forgiven forgive. Matthew 10:8 “Freely you have received; freely give.” NIV 3. Fight for unity. Proverbs 6:16-19 “There are six things the Lord hates, seven that are detestable to him: 17 haughty eyes, a lying tongue, hands that shed innocent blood, 18 a heart that devises wicked schemes, feet that are quick to rush into evil, 19 a false witness who pours out lies and a person who stirs up conflict...” NIV Ephesians 4:3 “Make every effort to keep the unity of the Spirit through the bond of peace.” NIV Romans 8:28 “And we know that in all things God works for the good of those who love him, who have been called according to his purpose.” NIV 4. We do life together. Galatians 6:2 “Bear one another’s burdens, and so fulfill the law of Christ.” NKJV Hebrews 10:24-25 “And let us consider how we may spur one another on toward love and good deeds, 25 not giving up meeting together, as some are in the habit of doing, but encouraging one another—and all the more as you see the Day approaching.” NIV
