May God, who gives this patience and encouragement, help you live in complete harmony with each other, as is fitting for followers of Christ Jesus.

Romans 15:5 NLT

https://bible.com/bible/116/rom.15.5.NLT

The idea of complete harmony is beautiful to consider. In music, harmony can stir the spirit and emotions taking the content of the music to a whole new level. In creation, the harmony of life draws a sense of awe and wonder that leads us to consider the Creator. In relationships, harmony draws people in. When people live in love and community together, it is compelling and attractive.

Harmony communicates the best of who we can be together.

To live in harmony, we need help. More specifically, we need God. His demonstrated example, patience, and encouragement gives us capacity and hope to get along well with each other.

On any given day, there are many opportunities to justify division and conflict. It is just too easy to choose to live in broken relationships, all the while defending our reasons for holding to brokenness.

The Apostle Paul reminds us as followers of Jesus Christ, we are called and expected to live in harmony. Thankfully the Holy Spirit is with us to help us get along in love. Jesus set the ultimate example of forgiveness. God the Father is pouring mercy and grace all over us. Mercy and grace are meant to be shared with others through us. We are to be patient with each other on this journey of life and eternity.

Encouragement: Choose with me to live in harmony today. Let’s declare our need for God’s help. Let our harmony draw others close to our amazing God.

Prayer: Dear Jesus, I pray that You will help us live in complete harmony with each other. Holy Spirit, come alongside us. Father, give us the patient endurance required in healthy relationships. May the harmony made through us become attractive and beautiful to the watching world. May people reach for You because of the love we share with each other.

In Your name Jesus, Amen

New Major Gifts Officer, Mary-Grace Wallace

When people ask what it feels like to step into my new role as Major Gifts Officer at Warm Beach Camp Ministries, the answer is simple: it feels like coming home in a new way. My story with Warm Beach Camp began when I was nine years old. I came to camp for a week of overnight camp, excited for all the adventures that come with summer camp. One of those adventures was vaulting on the camp horses. Even though ...

Confused and Helpless

“Jesus traveled through all the towns and villages of that area, teaching in the synagogues and announcing the Good News about the Kingdom. And he healed every kind of disease and illness. When he saw the crowds, he had compassion on them because they were confused and helpless, like sheep without a shepherd. He said to his disciples, “The harvest is great, but the workers are few. So, pray to the Lord who is in charge of the harvest; ask ...

Building Confidence through Faith

What do these have in common: a Pony Club rider working through her own fear as she tries to calm her anxious horse. An adaptive vaulter with MS, who has to re-build trust in her seemingly rebellious body as she vaults. A volunteer, realizing that being at peace and working hard can go hand-in-hand. A horsemanship instructor, learning how to convey knowledge clearly and effectively while also knowing that she does not have all the answers. Each of these individuals ...
