The Church is not just an institution or a mere social club. It is where we, who have been brought near to God and washed from sin, can help one another grow Christlikeness. The purpose of meeting together as a corporate body is to exhort and encourage one another. Hebrews 10: 19- 25.
If believers can function, to live as God wanted as to Live,we need join forces as believers to encourage one another, Love and serve. But the challenge is, there are those in God’s family (the church) who find a controversy and stake their claim to it. Every church has at least one stubborn soul who has mastered a minutiae of the message and made a mission out of it.
As long as Christians split hairs,
Christians will split churches. Religious leaders thought they could manipulate Jesus with their controversies. But they were wrong. He was not trapped by their trickery, flattered by their flattery, or fooled by their hypotheses.
Perhaps we should take note. I’d like to say to you what I need someone to say to me when I get territorial about my opinions. I challenge you to look around you. Let go of your territory for a while.
Scout some new regions. Explore some new reefs. Much is gained by closing your mouth and opening your eyes every south often.
