No temptation has overtaken you that is not common to man. God is faithful, and he will not let you be tempted beyond your ability, but with the temptation he will also provide the way of escape, that you may be able to endure it. -1 Corinthians 10:13 Download Bible Verses app here: http://bit.ly/1eXCj7J

I appeal to you, dear brothers and sisters, by the authority of our Lord Jesus Christ, to live in harmony with each other. Let there be no divisions in the church. Rather, be of one mind, united in thought and purpose. (NLT) -1 Corinthians 1:10 Often we can get wrapped up in criticism and differences fellow Christians may have. By criticizing, does it really help us to further the Kingdom of Heaven? Sometimes we get ourselves tripped up and stumbling over unimportant issues. Perhaps, it's the work of the enemy to take our eyes off of what is important, living a life that is pleasing to Christ. If you have a problem with fellow Christians, take a moment and examine the importance of your issue. Would Christ delight in your sacrifice of self-righteousness for unity?
