Ephesians 4:5 ERV “There is one Lord, one faith, and one baptism.”
The church as it is today is not one; and it has affected our growth. Instead of churches reaching out to the lost, much of our activities are aimed at winning members of other churches to ours. There are churches who won’t even mix up with other churches. I must say that no reason for that is good enough; except where the other “church” has been proven to be a false one.
Jesus did not come to establish denominations and neither of the apostles established denominations. What they had were churches in different locations where believers worshipped freely with one another and enjoyed the ministries of all the apostles, prophets, evangelists, pastors and teachers.
It’s time for the church to break all the walls that have prevented genuine fellowship among all God’s children. These walls must first be destroyed in our minds. We must stop creating walls, trying hard to protect what has never been ours, since all sheep are for Christ! There must be genuine love and fellowship among us, serving our Lord and submitting to each other.
