UNITY
Grace makes three Proclamations.
1. Only God can forgive my Godlessness…
2. Only God can judge my Neighbor…
3. I must accept who God Accepts…
Easier said than done.
God has enlisted us in his navy and placed us on his ship.
The boat has one purpose-to carry us safely to the other shore.
This is no cruise ship; It’s a battleship.
We aren’t called to a life of leisure; we are called to a life of service. Each of us has a different task.
Some, concerned with those who are drowning, are snatching people from the water.
Others are occupied with the enemy, so they man the cannons of prayer and worship.
Still others devote themselves to the crew, feeding and training the crew members.
Though different, we are the same. Each can tell of personal encounter with the captain, for each has received a personal call.
He found us among the shanties of the seaport and invited us to follow him.
Though the battle if fierce, the boat if safe, for our captain is God.
The ship will not sink. For that, there is no concern.
There is concern, however, regarding the disharmony of the crew.
Unity creates belief. Disunity fosters disbelief. Who wants to board a ship of bickering sailors?
Life on the ocean may be rough, but at least the waves don’t call us names… could it be that Unity is the key to reaching the world for Christ?
