unity

unity in the body of Christ is a vital thing and yet it is something that we pass over, ignore and just flat out disregard. we get hung up on issues of theology, eschatology, exegesis, hermeneutics and over a lot of other "big worded" things!

Philippians 2:2-4
fulfill my joy by being like minded, having the same love, being of one accord, of one mind, let nothing be done through selfish ambition or conceit, but in lowliness of mind let each esteem others better than himself. let each of you look out not only for his own interests, but also for the interests of others.

as believers we are not bound together by the temporary things of this age. we are bound by the blood of Christ! by the eternal love of God. that being the case we shouldn't get tied up with worthless issues and differences. our differences don't weaken the church they strengthen us!

lets allow the love of God to break down issues amongst us that have no eternal weight. its the eternal things that we live for.
