CHURCH

Today's reading: Romans 15-16

"May God, who gives this patience and encouragement, help you live in complete harmony with each other--each with the attitude of Christ Jesus toward the other. Then all of you can join together with one voice, giving praise and glory to God, the Father of our Lord Jesus Christ." Romans 15:5-6 NLT

There should be contractual agreements at the entrance of every church stating this charge of Paul's.

A command.

A requirement.

A heavily suggested suggestion.

Because worship, true worship...

Revival, true revival...

Power, God's power...

Love, true love...

Can and will only happen when we each, individually, take on the attitude of Christ toward one another.

In a church there is no need for divisions on translation.

No need for disagreements on preferences.

No need for arguments on what's commanded versus what's traditional.

No need for disgruntled church folks.

No need for congregational schisms.

Because we all, each and every one of us, will be like Jesus.

Forgiving. Loving. Accepting. Kind. Encouraging.

Would you, could you, sign such an agreement?
