When Unity Becomes Toxic

Contributed by Kerry Haynes on Jun 9, 2019

The stories of the Tower of Babel and Pentecost teach us to: 1. Guard against prideful uniformity. 2. Cherish diversity as God's gift, and 3. Look to Christ as the source of our unity

Genesis 11:1-9 When Unity Becomes Toxic We tend to think of unity as a good thing. Military units aspire for unity. People in public office wish for it. Marriages hope for it. Churches aspire for it. Yet, sometimes supposed unity masks for uniformity, and can quickly slip into pride and ...read more

Zechariah's Seventh Vision: Wickedness Removed Series

Contributed by Richard Tow on May 16, 2022

This vision of a woman in a basket constitutes a promise from God to His people to remove wickedness from their midst. The previous vision (#6) was about removing individual rebels. This vision is the removal of the wicked system energizing sin.

Today we come to one of the strangest passages in Scripture. It is recorded in Zechariah 5:5-11. Here Zechariah sees a vision of a basket, a woman in the basket, and two women with wings carrying the basket to Babylon. What does the basket represent? What about the woman in the basket? Are the two ...read more

The Tower Of Babel Series

Contributed by Brad Beaman on May 22, 2022

The Tower of Babel was a man centered plan. God supernaturally confused the languages and scattered the people. There are over 7,000 languages spoken in the world today. Pentecost was the Tower of Babel in reverse! The Holy Spirit comes to reach those separated from God by sin.

It is a reference to what happened in Genesis Chapter 11 at the tower of Babel. The story of the Tower of Babel is uber significant. It explains the ...read more
