#soap # Romans 16 ## Title: Create Clear Boundaries ## Scripture: (Romans 16:17) “Now I urge you, brothers and sisters, to watch out for those who create dissensions and obstacles contrary to the teaching that you learned. Avoid them!” (NET) ## Observation: God’s Word speaks out that not everyone is a good influence. For those people who continually cause division, it’s important to create boundaries to guard our hearts and guard the unity of the local congregation. This is not always easy, and we should always make clear access roads to restore relationship. However, we should be careful to keep unity and create clear boundaries for those who will not walk in unity with others. ## Application: Guard unity closely. ## Prayer: Thank You, Jesus, for giving us clear guidelines.
