The devil hates church unity. Uniting churches is a difficult task, but Jesus passionately prayed for it. Are we going to do our part to answer His prayer?
4. Hindrances to church unity
• Individualism
We need not all agree, but if we disagree, let us not be
disagreeable in our disagreements. – MR DeHaan
• Personal Peace and Affluence
• Small vision
5. The unity of Christendom is not a luxury, but a
necessity. The world will go limping until Christ’s
prayer that all may be one is answered. We must
have unity, not at all costs, but at all risks. A unified
Church is the only offering we dare present to the
coming Christ, for in it alone will He find room to
dwell.
Charles H Brent
6. Promoting church unity
Together we can:
• Pray.
• Care for the needy.
You cannot sift out the poor from the community. The poor
are indispensable to the rich. – Henry Beecher
• Fight the enemy.
• Deal with crises.
• Gather the harvest.
7. Be united with other Christians. A wall with loose
bricks is not good. The bricks must be cemented
together.
Corrie ten Boom
