Brothers and Sisters,
"How good and pleasant it is when God’s people live together in unity! For there the Lord bestows his blessing, even life forevermore. (Psalm 133:1, 3b)". Unity brings great blessings to the church.
But what happens when God's people don't live together in unity? Apostle Paul speaking to one dysfunctional, unloving church said, "That is why many of you are weak and sick and some have even died" (1 Corinthians 11:30). It is hard stuff to think that Christian disunity can cause weakness, sickness, and death in the church. But the great Apostle said it.
Do you have a lot of weak, sick, and dying people in your church? More funerals than weddings? Maybe it is time for you to be a peacemaker.
May the Lord richly bless you!
