I am surprised many Christians are still downplaying the faith of other Christians particularly those who don't belong to their denominations. This is not right. Denomination is not a criteria to get to heaven. We must realise that we are incomplete without one another; there are diversities of ministries but the same God that profits in us. We need each other. If any of the brethren has derailed, let us restore them to the Lord in love not taking pride in the fall of a fellow believer. Some speak of the faults of others in self righteousness; this is wrong. An injury to one is an injury to all. We shouldn't rejoice in downfall of others rather we should tremble before God and pray His mercy that they be restored, and that we stand till the end. The church is a body not a denomination. Let's not eat one another!

These five simple points will help you to handle rejection victoriously. 1. Don't blame yourself . Most times the first thing after a rejection

"Look upon me, because I am black, because the sun hath looked upon me: my mother's children were angry with me; they made me the keeper of the vineyards; but mine own vineyard have I not kept." - SOS 1:6 THE THREE VINEYARDS OF A MAN 1. Christian Life and Calling Jesus told us of mansions in heaven and I want to live in them, I know you do too. The question is how are we preparing for that glorious house, how are we tending to the vineyard that will produce the spiritual fruit of eternal life? There is no doubt that when we close our eyes in death here on earth we will open it in eternity. But the eternity we will awake to will be determined by how we keep our vineyard here. There so many variations of Christian living today that we are at a loss as to who a Christian really is but God is not confused, He knows those who are His. Are you representing Christ well? Are you fulfilling your calling? 2. Marriage and Family Life Some men are angels in their workpl
