0:00.0 | Hey Bible readers, I'm Tara Lee Cobble, and I'm your host for the Bible Recap. |
0:12.6 | If you're doing our New Testament plan, today we finish our 11th book, and if you're doing |
0:16.8 | the whole Bible, we finished book number 50. |
0:19.6 | Yesterday, we finished up with Paul telling us what |
0:21.5 | it looks like to love each other well, and today he opens by continuing that line of thought. |
0:25.9 | He reminds us that there's room for a lot of different personal opinions and preferences |

1:10.2 | with another believer's |
1:11.0 | actions is when our actions are tripping them up. Serve your brothers and sisters well by your actions. |
1:17.0 | If you have to lay down some rights and preferences for them, that's okay. Love is a good reason |
1:21.5 | to pivot. We don't just expect peace to happen naturally. We have to actively pursue it, to disengage |
1:27.4 | from the flesh and engage with the spirit. And he we have to actively pursue it, to disengage from the flesh and |
1:28.2 | engage with the spirit. And he says to not only pursue peace, but mutual upbuilding. If this were a |
1:34.5 | sliding scale, we could put division and quarreling as a negative number, and peace would be a zero |
