Hello Everyone,
I pledge allegiance to the Flag
of the United States of America,
and to the Republic for which it stands:
one Nation
ONE NATION
Our diversity is our strength despite its faults and problems, the US continues to be a destination country.
Our country has been called a "melting pot" in a true melting pot; the items all blend together and are impossible to tell apart one from the other.
Our makeup is changing this is also true of the Body of Christ
The body is a unit, though it is made up of many parts; and though all its parts are many, they form one body. So it is with Christ. 13 For we were all baptized by one Spirit into one body—whether Jews or Greeks, slave or free—and we were all given the one Spirit to drink. 14 Now the body is not made up of one part but of many. 1 Corinthians 12:12-14
We are all different, but that diversity is our strength.
Is everyone the same? No. But everyone works together, and pulls together.
22 On the contrary, those parts of the body that seem to be weaker are indispensable, 23 and the parts that we think are less honorable we treat with special honor. And the parts that are unpresentable are treated with special modesty, 24 while our presentable parts need no special treatment. But God has combined the members of the body and has given greater honor to the parts that lacked it, 25 so that there should be no division in the body, but that its parts should have equal concern for each other. 26 If one part suffers, every part suffers with it; if one part is honored, every part rejoices with it. 27 Now you are the body of Christ, and each one of you is a part of it. 1 Corinthians 12.22-27 (NLT)
Greater Things Are Still To Come!
Pastor Phil
