Today's readings are Psalm 144.3-10, 1 Samuel 20.24-42, and 1 Corinthians 1.1-25
Our world cries out for unity. So do many Church leaders today. But what kind of unity are we pursuing? All too often the calls for unity which I hear are asking that we set aside our differences rather than working through them to reach a sound, biblical consensus. Granted, we may not be able to reach agreement in all facets of doctrine and practice. Yet when we neglect the chance to pursue unity, we deny the fact that our Lord has really and truly revealed himself in a clear, distinct manner.
Paul's caution to the Corinthians is well-fit for today. We ought to be about the message of Christ crucified for sinners. This is the historic call of Christ's Church. May we seek our God's wisdom and follow his priorities in all our life and message.
