We are all one body, we have the same Spirit, and we have all been called to the same glorious future. – Ephesians 4:4 (NLT) One body… Paul later states in the following verses that there is only one Lord, faith, baptism and God and Father. That’s simple. That’s it. We are not called to [...]

Can two walk together, unless they are agreed?- Amos 3:3 (NKJV) We should be in agreement. Our calling as Christians reveals that we at least agree on our belief in Christ as Lord and Savior. Perhaps, if we took it more seriously or earnestly, we would spend a lot more of our time seeking what [...]

Two are better than one; because they have a good reward for their labour. – Ecclesiastes 4:9 (KJV) Meetings seem to be run-of-the-mill and dull when they simply are not in the right order for the right purpose.

Thank God that the kingdom of God is not divided into areas for big, important people and areas for little, unimportant people. – A.W. Tozer We have come a long way since Jesus ascended into heaven, leaving His disciples to await the coming of the Helper, the Holy Spirit of God. Yet, we seem to [...]
Tear Down the Walls

We need to tear down the walls that hinder us from true unity. We have the same God and Holy Spirit, even the same Savior. What’s the problem? We are the main problem. Well, it is not simply us. It’s all the stuff that we have piled on top of what the Lord has said. [...]
