One Lord, One Faith, One Baptism

Yesterday, Sunday, we experienced 'OnePrayer' with a video message from one of the pastors whose church is involved in OnePrayer. This is an exciting concept to me: denominational churches, independent churches, churches of similar vision, that we can come together to pray for our nation and the world.

What are we praying for? That the church, the entire body of Christ will come together in unity so that the world will see the church on earth as Christ sees us, not as a bickering family. We have to show - no, have - love for each other. Isn't that what Jesus said, that they (the unbelievers) would know us by our love?

We have disliked each other for too long. Let's take the walls of difference (indifference?) down and come together. Time to do it; we're giving the victory to the enemy, and we know who that is and what he would do to the church. We don't need the world to hate us, we're doing a pretty good job on our own.

Feels like I'm preaching and that's not my ministry. But it is my church and I want to love it like Christ loves it.
