How to resist


After Ephesians 4:11-16
 

To resist the deceit,

the forces arrayed

against us, the strategy

is simple: we speak

truth, the truth in love;

we grow up and into

the One who died for us;

we hold together as one,

one body, a unit working

as one, because we have

been equipped to function

as one, this body of many

working together to hold

itself up into love.
