Tillotson: wickedness, then division

Feast of Boniface (Wynfrith) of Crediton, Archbishop of Mainz, Apostle of Germany, Martyr, 754
Meditation:
You are still worldly. For since there is jealousy and quarreling among you, are you not worldly? Are you not acting like mere men?
—1 Corinthians 3:3 (NIV)

Quotation:
Next to the wicked lives of men, nothing is so great a disparagement and weakening to religion, as the divisions of Christians.
... John Tillotson (1630-1694), Works of Dr. John Tillotson, v. IX, London: J. F. Dove, for R. Priestley, 1820, Sermon CCIX, p. 45 (see the book)
See also 1 Cor. 3:3; Matt. 12:25; John 17:23; Rom. 15:6; 16:17; 1 Cor. 1:10; 11:18

Quiet time reflection:
What can I do to heal some division in my church?
