"When it says "Be of one mind" - it doesn't mean that we are all clones ... we are set free from human regulation and we haven't all got to look the same, sing the same, speak the same and be exactly the same in every single aspect of our lives. That's not what it means! "Being of one mind" does not mean we become narrow clones of each other.
You will even find that sometimes the men of the church begin to dress and speak like the preacher. You go to churches where if the preacher's head is shaved, the men start shaving their heads. It happens! They become clones! Yes there are godly standards but we are not all meant to look the same ... God has created us all different so His gracious, glorious character shines through your life!".
Peter Day - "Sunday Morning Sermon" - Lansdowne Evangelical Free Church - Sunday 6th April 2008.
"The man who never reads will never be read. He who never quotes will never be quoted. He who will not use the thoughts of other men's brains proves that he has no brains of his own ... You need to read" - C H Spurgeon. "To fail to learn from the pulpit of the past is to impoverish that of the present" - Tony Sargent
