I have a confession to make. I am not a gardener. I have never been good at it and I do not think I will ever be good at it.

Unity...Why the enemy is trying to destroy it. Jesus prayed, "that they will all be one, just as you and I are one— as you are in me, Father, and I am in you. And may they be in us so that the world will believe you sent me." How do you live out the saying, "in essentials unity, in non-essentials freedom and in all thing love in our offendable world?

The Body of Christ Paul wanted the church to know, to be informed, not to be ignorant (1Cor12:1) about the unity of the body that comes from the diversity of gifts within the body.

In Ephesians 4 Paul starts to explain how all the amazing truths he has shared up to now translate into everyday life for the Christian.
