Proverbs 10:12 Hatred stirreth up strifes: but love covereth all sins.
People in our churches will always have differences of opinion. That is natural. GOD made us as individuals with a free will. It is when the intention changes from concern and correctness to pride and strife, by the people involved, that hatred is stirred up.
I have known of churches splitting up because of the color of new carpet. Others have had strife for years because of what someone said long ago.
A spiritual Christian person knows where that strife comes from. Our LORD does not cause strife, dissension, and trouble among the brethren. Rather, Jesus creates an atmosphere of love, understanding, and, cooperation within his church family. Jesus desires his church and people to grow, prosper,and, get stronger.
If the Christian Church is to survive in the world's situation today; then we must get back to our roots. We must pray in the spirit. We must have the spirit of love about us. We MUST have an urgency to win others to Christ. Finally, we must have the Holy Spirit to lead and guide us. With out the Holy Spirit Himself, we can do nothing, all is in vain.
There is a religion today that teaches hate, destruction, and, turmoil. It has taken over the Middle East at this time, and, is growing in the U.S. Even today!
We Christians need to put on the whole armor of God, and, be united in love one with another.
God Bless;
