(Wiersbe) Someone  has said, " humility is that grace that , when you know you have it, you have lost it." Humility means putting Christ first, others second , and self last.

(Stowell) Spriritual gifts are intended to expand our ability to multiply the work of Christ

(Stowell) We must hold one another lovingly  accountable for those things that are clearly out of bounds. But we are not called to be resentful, judgmental, self-righteous, or distant toward those with whom we disagree. We are His body, called to follow Him undivided
