Behold, how good and how pleasant it is for brethren to dwell together in unity! Psalm 133:1

The enemy will make most determined efforts to ensnare those who should be co-workers with Christ. All who seek to qualify themselves for the Lord’s work are the objects of Satan’s attacks. But the unity and love for which Christ prayed is an impregnable barrier against the enemy. When there is dissension, when each one seeks the highest place, the prayer of Christ is not answered. The enemy finds easy access, and there is weakness instead of strength in the Church. Those who exalt self, place themselves in Satan’s power, and are prepared to receive his deceptions as truth.  {The Review and Herald, 1901}
