Unity

Today I finally share about the 7 spheres of influence that we are to be praying for. Eventually, this will lead to  us having 7 councils in which the local church performs coordinated action. But, before we can do that, there must be some dedication to the unity of the Body of Christ. Otherwise, we are just a para-church organization. And Jesus did not say that upon this rock he would build His PCO.

No. We must recognize that there is one church in Gainesville, and that it transcends our organizational and denominational borders. And we must love one another, and not merely be committed to a unilateral cease fire. Turf-guarding among pastors is like a married couple keeping separate bank accounts, separate bedrooms, and eating at opposite ends of one of those banquet hall tables. Can we transcend our own special interests to the point that the world notices that we truly love one another and that Jesus must be real?

BTW, no church has today covered with 24 hour prayer. But it's not too late!
