Can’t We All Just Get Along?

“Now I plead with you brethren, by the name of our Lord Jesus Christ,
that you all speak the same thing, and that there be no divisions
among you, but that you be perfectly joined together in the same
mind and in the same judgment.”
1 Corinthians 1:10 

Two congregations were located only a few blocks from each other in a small community. They thought it might be better if they merged and became one united body, larger and more effective, rather than two struggling churches. Good idea…but they weren’t able to pull it off. The problem? They couldn’t agree on how they should recite the Lord’s Prayer. One group wanted “Forgive us our trespasses,” while the other demanded “forgive us our debts.” A newspaper reported that one church went back to its trespasses while the other returned to its debts.

Do you get along with other Christians? Are you a peace-maker or a divider?
