BUILDING OTHERS UP

[Nathanial] The Ekklesiah house will soon send off one of its founding fathers, James Racine. James has been an integral part of the birth of this place and vital in its growth and nurturing throughout its first year of existence. The brothers here at Ekklesiah pray that God would continue to lead James to be fruitful in his individual ministries.
With James departing from the inner walls here, we will each be taking on more responsibility for the unit. We realize that this is opening ways that Satan can place footholds for division. Satan is already trying to use little quirks or individual comments to create fractions among us. We ask for our larger community to pray that we would be strong enough to not allow Satan to divide us as we continue to listen for God's direction for this place. A positive verse that has been mentioned by numerous brothers here over the past few days is
Ephesians 4:29 – “Do not let any unwholesome talk come out of your mouths, but only what is helpful for building others up according to their needs, that it may benefit those who listen.”
It is our prayer that each our lives would model this verse.
