Friday Thought

For some reason we just seem to not be able to get along with each other.  Not just the believers vs. the un-believers.. No, no I am talking about the believers vs. the believers.  My church feels this way, as opposed to how your church feels towards a certain topic.  It becomes my question to the readers.  Are we not told to be as one in John.  Would that not mean that all denominations, all congregations, all clergy and layperson be in that same class?  Why is it that we allow oourselves to get so caught up in the rights and wrongs of what others are doing and we pull ourselves away from where God wants us to be.  One change at a time can make big changes in the end.  We can never feel like the one thing that we do is never enough.  It will always be enough.  It will set the course on a different path, it will cause a domino effect to make a differene to just one someone else and that will cause it to effect another and so on.  So from the many Christian denominations that work at ripping each other apart, let us stand in unity and welcome those that we are called to reach.  Let us not stand and negotiate which one is right and wrong.  If we want the world of the unreached to really see what Jesus' life represents then this is how we are going to need to work.  So others do not see us as bickering battle grounds with in ourselves.  Surely we can change...because something has to.
