Went to church Sunday. We were attending at a different congregation for the Worship service because John and Kenny switched places. Anyway, as we were entering the church building someone actually voiced something I've thought for a very long time. Why, oh why, can't all the little, dinky congregations just get together under one roof and worship God? Why, oh why, does it have to be the way it is? This dear lady voiced my thoughts, read my mind, but she was brave enough to actually come out and say it. Everybody is not going to agree on every little thing scriptually. But why can't we love the Lord enough, have the desire enough to be Christians, to be able to set aside these petty little differences and be a united community, Able to worship God, to edify one another, to support each other and the church, in order to make a bigger and better impact on the community? Not to mention combining our resources and assets financially in order to be used to further the gospel instead of paying for all the expensive upkeep of all these different buildings in the area?
Sometimes it seems man can be his own worst enemy!

Patrice,
Beautiful post. Thank you.
I once preaced for a small church in Arkansas that met in a place about on emile from another little church. The two congregations were unwilling to get and work together for some petty reasons. Very sad.
God bless that dear sister for voicing your thoughts.
