The Bible's "One anothers"

When Shane Segars was our Teaching Pastor, he would from time to time say we could build wonderful Christian communities if we merely observed the “one anothers” of the Bible. I was reminded of this recently when I read a list of them compiled by Pastor Tim Keller. I now have this list in my prayer folder to pray over a few on the list each day. I thought you might be blessed by it too. Enjoy.
