    Formal church membership that involves special membership and voting rights is contentious. In this Part 2, I open up the matter to show how out of sync the matter is with the membership of the one Body of Christ, and the discrimination. We delve into some scriptures to bring this out.

    All true believers have God’s glory within, no matter what they may look like on the outside. Christian unity is not based on the external, but the internal. The very Spirit of God within us.

    How important is unity in our individual lives? How important is unity in our church? Jesus had a lot to say about the importance of unity. If Christians cannot be unified, then we are not approaching one another in love. And we cannot be a good witness for Christ if we are bickering with one ...read more

    God moves powerfully when His people worship, fast, and pray together, listening for the Spirit’s direction and responding with obedient, unified action.

    Some of the greatest moves of God begin in the most ordinary rooms. A small circle of friends. A whispered hymn. A hunger that words can’t quite describe. Picture it: believers, shoulder to shoulder, hearts steady and still, waiting in worship. No spotlight, no stagecraft—just saints who want the ...read more
