4. Believers are encouraged to return to their “first love” and focus on Christ as the cornerstone. How can returning to this focus help churches heal from division and build stronger bonds?

6. The importance of unity within the church is highlighted in the poem, which could sometimes be misunderstood as a call for a "one world religion."
