The Great Divide

I appeal to you, brothers and sisters, in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ, that all of you agree with one another in what you say and that there be no divisions among you, but that you be perfectly united in mind and thought. 1 Corinthians 1:10 NIV

This is what we need right now, Hut don't think that we have somehow invented this current chaos. There would have been no reason to write these words to the Corinthians if things were hunky dory. People, even Christians, don't always agree. And we are told to not let these things divide us. Be of one mind. But what if we all interpret something differently?

That's ok. Come to a decision to respect one another in love and in Christ. If we all believe in him, that he is the one true way to heaven, and that he alone is the savior, then we have nothing to argue over. People will be people. Evil will be evil. The devil will seek to destroy. Don't let him destroy the love between brothers and sisters in Christ.
