UNITY

1 Corinthians 1:10

Now I plead with you, brethren, by the name of our Lord Jesus Christ, that you all speak the same thing, and that there be no divisions among you, but that you be perfectly joined together in the same mind and in the same judgment.

Personal Challenge

Paul challenges the church in Corinth to live in unity and to avoid divisions, splits, and arguments. Jesus prayed for this as well. We have become so familiar with thousands of denominations, all based on divisions and arguments, that we hear this challenge and ignore it. We cannot succumb to this behavior and be either a source of or participants in disunity. This is where the personal challenge is. Lord, have mercy! Lord, have mercy! Lord, have mercy!
