Learn:
Learning when we are gathered together is important we can learn from each other as we all have different insights, God gives gifts to His church and one of those gifts is a teacher of Gods word. Learning should be without pride or jealousy but be recieved with thankfulness, it should be bible based and relevant. Howver we should each learn for ourselves too and not put all our trust on teachers as there have been many decievers in time past and Jesus, Paul, John, Jude, James, and Peter all warned about these and they come in many disguises, in this day and age usually straight out of bible college or seminary, study for your self, you are the only one who is going to give an account for your life one day so don't put yourselves at the mercy of fallible men. I could talk all day about this problem and the necessity of vigilance but i withhold the urge now.
Love
There is no greater truth than this we should love one another and put up with (forebear) one another, we all have weaknesses, we all have quirks, we are all imperfect and we all need each other. We should look after those in need, give practical help not just offer our prayers. Look after peoples babies for them if they are strruggling or need to get out, listen to others difficulties and doubts and offer advice, counsel (biblicly) those with problems of living, visit those who have been away, show them you care don't look down on those who don't have this worlds good but treat them equally or even better than you would someone who is rich.
Love also diciplines, corrects and protects.
If someone has taken on a heresy it is needful that you take him aside and try to correct him out of loving concern, if someone is living in sin this must be addressed for the persons own good and for those around them. If they will not repent then they must be excommunicated to protect the others from the same outcomes and so that the Name of Jesus is not blasphemed because of your tolerance of sin. A little leaven leavens the whole lump. Jesus rebukes those who tolerate sinfulness amonght them becuase we are representing Him on this earth and that is a big deal.
Rv 2v14-16: But I have a few things against thee, because thou hast there them that hold the doctrine of Balaam, who taught Balac to cast a stumblingblock before the children of Israel, to eat things sacrificed unto idols, and to commit fornication.
So hast thou also them that hold the doctrine of the Nicolaitans, which thing I hate.
Repent; or else I will come unto thee quickly, and will fight against them with the sword of my mouth
Rv 2v19-22: I know thy works, and charity, and service, and faith, and thy patience, and thy works; and the last to be more than the first.
Notwithstanding I have a few things against thee, because thou sufferest that woman Jezebel, which calleth herself a prophetess, to teach and to seduce my servants to commit fornication, and to eat things sacrificed unto idols.
And I gave her space to repent of her fornication; and she repented not.
Behold, I will cast her into a bed, and them that commit adultery with her into great tribulation, except they repent of their deeds.
Rv 3v19: As many as I love, I rebuke and chasten: be zealous therefore, and repent.
Rv 3v20: Behold, I stand at the door, and knock: if any man hear my voice, and open the door, I will come in to him, and will sup with him, and he with me.
