The Bullet of Difference: One Spirit
I don’t know about you, but let me tell you my most depressing experience with Christianity! It’s the way Christians are intolerant of one another! The way they allow divisions. The way they always “find something” to fight over. The way we take “cheap shots” at one another!
Don’t misunderstand me. There are some things we need to fight for. Issues where we must draw the line. Times when Christians can no longer work together because of too many “secondary differences.” God understands this and so should we. That’s why there are so many different ministries, churches and styles of Gospel presentations. As I Corinthians 12:4-6 so clearly tells us “there are varieties of gifts but the same Spirit … varieties of ministries but the same Lord … varieties of effects but the same God Who works in them all!!!”
All of us, even the best of us mentally and spiritually, have huge gaps of imperfection. Our blind spots are enormous. Hence, even our differences which are many can serve the common good if we are mature about it rather than sectarian!
