We are to be careful to protect the spiritually week in the church through prayer and wise counsel or guidance. Paul uses 1 Cor 12:22-23 to really illustrate this point. Parts of the human body like the eye can be seen as the weakest, yet they are the most important parts that should be protected by the stronger parts like the arms, when the body is been attacked. Also, less honorable parts of the human body are seen as personal or private, and are protected and clothed with the greatest care. The stronger and more honorable parts don’t need that much attention. The reason is ‘If one part suffers, all the parts suffer with it, and if one part is honored, all the parts are glad’ (1 Cor 12:26). This principle is very crucial in view of the diversities of our gifts, our individual strengths and different temperaments. Being able to see ourselves as a unit and work together regardless of the differences in our gifts, maturity levels and opinions, is a major key to having a productive church. bread-for-today-colinwud.blogspot/2011/12/power-of-unity-in-church.html
