SUZANNE

Paul was one of the greatest missionaries of all time.  Because of him, the

gospel spread rapidly, and he was not ashamed to speak the Truth of Christ,

regardless of the outcome.  Much of the New Testament is attributed to him

as author.  As he wrote to the different churches with which he was in

ministry, Paul often had the same message: to be like minded, and live in

peace through the love of God.

We read this in First and Second Corinthians, as he was teaching to the

church in Corinth, Greece.  We read this in Romans 15:5, as he was teaching

the Italian believers to live in peace as they followed Christ. He tells the

same thing to the church in Philippi as he was writing from jail, in

Philippians 2:2, where he reminds them to have love and to be one in spirit

and in purpose.

Three different churches, and yet the message is the same. Live in peace, love

one another and be united in Christ.  The message is the same today,

regardless of denomination. 
For Central, A United Methodist Community, live in peace through the love

of Christ!
