an infant. But solid food is for the mature, who
because of practice have trained their faculties
for the distinguishing of both good and evil.
With all the milk, solid food, providence, grace, power,
and authority of Jesus Christ at the disposal of the
church, we can educate and nurture a spiritual newborn
babe to become a mature son in the house of God,
and an effectual working member of the church in the
prime of his battle strength. When sons mature, the
church will have the intrinsic life, innate potential, and
continuous supply to grow and build up itself in love
and function.
Psalms 133
Behold, how good and how pleasant it is for brothers
to dwell together in unity! It is like the precious oil upon
the head, coming down upon the beard, even Aaron's beard,
coming down upon the edge of his robes. It is like the dew of
Hermon coming down upon the mountains of Zion; for there
the LORD commanded the blessing—life forever.
Matthew 18:18-20
Truly I say to you, whatever you bind on earth shall have been
bound in heaven; and whatever you loose on earth shall have
been loosed in heaven. Again I say to you, that if two of you

or three have gathered together in My name, I am
there in their midst.”
“How good and how pleasant it is for brothers to dwell together
in unity” – not ‘compromised’ unity; not ‘agree-to-disagree’
unity; not ‘live-and-let-live’ unity; not pseudo-unity, but true
unity in perfect oneness; for the fullness of God is only present
in our midst when we congregate in the true oneness of His
Name and all that His Name represents. There is great grace
