Chris.
Some people may arise and attempt to divide the Church. When this happens the Church leaders need to be committed to God and each other first of all to resist and resolve dividing tactics and reasons. Secondly the Church leaders need to be continually committed and active in ensuring that all the ministries and workers of the Church are in a spiritually healthy condition.
