The document emphasizes the importance of unity within the church, referencing Acts 4:32-34 to illustrate that true believers are one in heart and mind, leading to a community where no one is in need. It warns against the destructive effects of deception in the church, as outlined in 1 Corinthians 5:6, and encourages members to focus on sincerity and truth to heal its brokenness. Ultimately, it poses the question of whether individuals are contributing to the church's division or working towards its unity and restoration.

8. Mend the church's broken heart

9. 1 Corinthians 5:7
Get rid of the old yeast, so that you may be a new

the unleavened bread of sincerity and truth.
