Hello Everyone,

I pledge allegiance to the Flag
of the United States of America,
and to the Republic for which it stands:
one Nation under God, indivisible,

INDIVISIBLE

Unity is threatened when it becomes all about my rights.

In the days after 9/11 (a $10 trillion economy came to a complete stop), flags sprouted up everywhere.
"What can I do to help?" Was the questioned everyone was asking?
And we were proud to be part of a country that rallied around their neighbors.
We say, "United we stand!" Unfortunately, when we were urged to "get back to normal", we did.

And selfishness and politics came roaring back. The same is true of the Church.

"until we all reach unity in the faith and in the knowledge of the Son of God and become mature, attaining to the whole measure of the fullness of Christ." -- Ephesians 4.13

Ah. Maturity. Acting like an adult. Not always evident, is it?
But the strength of the church shows when it’s people come together to carry out the GREAT commission and the great commandment.

Jesus said: "that all of them may be one, Father, just as you are in me and I am in you..." -- John 17.21

Greater Things Are Still To Come!

Pastor Phil
