“MORE THAN UNITY!”
Ephesians 4:3: “Endeavoring to keep the unity of the Spirit in the bond of peace.”

I am scared to death about some of the things I see happening in our society. It scares me because it demonstrates how rapidly our world is being molded into a global community and a one-world religion that accepts anything and everything except the inerrant, infallible, and indisputable Word of God.

Some people have equated the challenge to keep the unity as a green light to accept any belief system. God is very clear that it is His way and not our way that is the only basis for true unity.

When we were kids we would take three separate scripture texts and create a new one. You might call it the "Devised Version." Here is one that we "devised": Judas went out and hung himself. Go thou and do likewise. And what thou doest, do quickly! Silly actions of teenagers, but all too often the same practice is still used by supposedly wise people to achieve their own selfish goals.

God is not so much interested in our unity as He is in our obedience to His Word. Seek unity and peace, but make sure it is the unity and peace that comes from the throne of God. He will go before you and prepare the path that you will be walking. THEN, be sure to share with others in similar need what you have experienced in God's love and nearness.

Blessings dear hearts. Draw near to God today, trust Him completely and be a blessing!
