Nevertheless, we should always get on our knees together and seek to maintain the unity of the Spirit and the bond of peace (Eph 4:3).” John F. “No one is perfect-there are always going to be little things that people disagree about. “When the people in a church dwell together in the unity of the gospel and together pursue the building up of one another in love, they are providing fertile soil for the roots of deep joy. Let’s spend the time that we spend fighting each other showing the love of Christ, giving our time to helping others supporting the church as commanded.” “Christians spend too much time arguing over scripture, the bible tells us that the early church were one, this was Jesus prayer for his church. There is no excuse for this sad condition, for the Bible does not allow for loose ends. Nothing is sapping the church of Christ of her strength so much as these unresolved problems, these loose ends among believing Christians that have never been tied up. When they should be marching side by side through this world taking men captive for Jesus Christ, they are acting instead like an army that has been routed and scattered and whose troops in their confusion have begun fighting among themselves. They can’t walk together because they do not agree. So many have matters deeply imbedded in their craws, like iron wedges forced between themselves and other Christians. “Few things are sapping the strength of the church of Jesus Christ more than the unreconciled state of so many believers. We are all baptized into one Spirit so as to become, says the apostle, on body.” Charles Hodge It is one because pervaded by one Spirit. It is one body, one family, one fold, one kingdom. “The Church is everywhere represented as one. “You (Millennials) are the generation most afraid of real community because it inevitably limits freedom and choice. Since union is strength, he does his best to promote separation.” Charles Spurgeon

He attaches far more importance to godly intercourse than we do. Anything which can divide saints from one another he delights in. “Satan always hates Christian fellowship it is his policy to keep Christians apart. “If we fighting each other we can’t fight the enemy.” There is surely disunity in the visible church, but that is not as important as the reality of the unity that we enjoy by virtue of our shared communion in Christ.” R.C. “All Christians enjoy a unity of mission in which we have one Lord, one faith, and one baptism (Eph. “Paul’s vision of the body of Christ is of a unity which consists in diversity, that is, a unity which is not denied by diversity, but which would be denied by uniformity, a unity which depends on its diversity functioning as such – in a word, the unity of a body, the body of Christ.” James Dunn “Believers are never told to become one we already are one and are expected to act like it.” “Unity is strength… when there is teamwork and collaboration, wonderful things can be achieved.”
