WHAT DEFINES YOU? DIVIDES YOU?

The other night I was about to fall asleep.  I was in between being awake and asleep.  I have found that this is usually when song ideas happen and when kind of revelational thoughts come into play for myself at least.  So, anyways….

I woke up, Jenn (my wife) is asking where I am going and I don’t answer because I am so ADD that I would loose my train of thought, gone to the abyss forever.  Which would be a beating honestly.  So I run to my journal honestly that run being more of a brisk walk 4 steps to my journal to write this thought down:

Why as Christians are we rooted in what makes us different more so than what makes us the same?

Why are we not grounded in what unifies us but rather in what divides us?

Can a house divided stand?

Can it?

Hope for the future is bleak.   I think the church has forgotten that it isn’t a building we go to, rather we are the people that gather in it. 

The Church isn’t Methodist, Baptist, Catholic, Pentecostal, Non- Denominational, Church of God, Assembly of God, Reformed, etc…

The Church is in fact

Believers

Unified

In their joy, their hope, their love for the one true God

But usually we just end up fighting over issues that have no weight on salvation and usually drive us further apart…

Odd considering that we are a Faith built upon love and unity but refuse to work with brothers in the faith to better a world that continually rejects the beliefs of a church that is divided against itself. Odd?  Why would they want to join something like that? When the people in that faith cannot even walk in the truths and practices that their Savior died for.

Food for thought
