“…fulfill my joy by being like-minded, having the same love, being of one accord, of one mind.” Phil2.2 NKJV
It takes work to work as a team. The visible Church has in most ways been a poor witness of Christian unity. We have allowed our differences to divide rather than complement our efforts to serve Christ in the world. Yet, in spite of this, I see the Spirit of God working accord and oneness in the invisible church. I meet brothers and sisters all the time who as we say, “are on the same page,“ regardless of their race, ethnicity or denominational affiliation. I think that this unity is not so much a goal they have sought to achieve as it is the result of sharing the same preeminent goal of the Holy Spirit. That goal is of course the glory of God and the only means to it, which is Christ the hope of glory. When we keep in front of us, that one thing which is needed, and that simply is to abide in Christ, then God’s glory, our participation in it and the inclusion of others for it, captures our thoughts and minds and leads us into the unity of the Spirit and bond of peace. This is not to say that God will not lead us up different routes, using different techniques but we all climb to the same summit. 9/14/07 ts
Just me trying to be honest with God.
