Danger of Divisions
Romans 16:17-20
Now I beseech you, brothers, mark them which cause divisions and offenses contrary to the doctrine which you have learned…


If two ships at sea, being of the same squadron, be scattered by storm from each other, how should they come to the relief of each other? If, again, they clash together, and fall foul, how should the one endanger the other and herself too? It was of old the Dutch device of two earthern pots swimming upon the water, with this motto, "If we knock together, we sink together."

(J. Spencer.)
