UNITY...

God's House by night... this is the church I go to here in Marion, Indiana!

This morning a few friends and I went to church at God's House as usual. It was a really good sermon on Unity... it really made me think. One of the things the pastor said that has really stuck in my head is this- think about it...

Unity is one of the most undiscovered power sources of all time- for both evil and good.

Kallie's thoughts: Imagine if the power of unity that Hitler had harnessed for evil was harnessed for God through His church and as aweful and horrifying of things that Hitler did that many more awesome and wonderful things were accomplished through the body of Christ.

How sad is it that real life/ statistical changes are not seen in the world today through the church. I have heard of the huge crusades with the many "slavations" but how many times have those changes actually gone farther than the crusade and into the world... back in the day when Billy Graham was young and just starting out he held a crusade in Australia... many salvations came about and after he left the countries crime rate went down more than 70%... obviously that was long time ago... but that is hard evidence of God changing lives through and through... what are we doing wrong? Where is the church going wrong... why aren;t we seeing these changes... if Hitler made such an impact as he did with the power of unity... then why can't we learn from not only him but many of the big bang times in the Bible when things happened in the church- get unified and see the world change fo real... not just tally hands at a crusade.

I don't know- its definitely something to thing about... I wish we really were unified, but sadly I can't say I know any denomination or church for that matter that can really say "We are in one accord- we are unified - we are one."
