Unity...

Is unity a pipe dream within the body of Christ?

Some say yes and some say no! What do you say? Have you ever thought about it?

Consider; Ephesians 4:1-6

As a prisoner for the Lord, then, I urge you to live a life worthy of the calling you have received. Be completely humble and gentle; be patient, bearing with one another in love. Make every effort to keep the unity of the Spirit through the bond of peace. There is one body and one Spirit—just as you were called to one hope when you were called— one Lord, one faith, one baptism; one God and Father of all, who is over all and through all and in all.

Have we lived worthy of the calling we have received?

Are we completely humble and gentle?

Have we been patient and bearing with one another in love?

Have we made every effort to keep the unity of the spirit through a bond of peace or is the body at war within itself?

"Denominational Divergence" is antithetical to scripture, yet it is the norm of the Christian existence upon this earth. How can this be tolerated?

Consider;

"You may remember the story of how Satan and a demon of his were walking down the street, when they saw ahead of them a man stoop down and pick up something from the ground, look at it, and put it away in his pocket. The demon said to Satan, 'What did that man pick up?' 'He picked up a piece of the truth,' said Satan. 'That is a very bad business for you, then,' said his demon minion. 'Oh, not at all,' Satan replied, 'I am going to help him organize it.' says Satan 'We will use money as the lure and make it irresistible to the greedy, we will build a theocracy that will stand the test of time.'

Things that make you go Hmmmmmmmmmmm?

May...

The Lord bless and keep you;
The Lord make His face shine upon you,
And be gracious to you;
The Lord lift up his countenance upon you,
And give you peace.
