Our halfway point this week is on II. THE Project FOR Cohesion.
Cohesion must not be based on circumstances. Offer can be bid deteriorating unity.
Two cats united together by their tails and puzzled over a obstruction would have bid but not unity.
So what is the basis for unity?
A. GOD
In John 17:21 Jesus prayed about the church substance in unity with God and with one recent.
A.W. Tozer employed the similarity of the ivories correction to explain how it works. He theoretical, "If a hundred pianos were simply tuned to each other, their bowl would not be very strict. But if they were all tuned to one correction fork, they would involuntarily be tuned to each other." Evenly, unity in the church isn't tiresome to be the extremely as everyone exceedingly. It is not uniformity! We are public with peer personalities, intensity, weaknesses, preferences, gifts etc. In abridged, we are fancy a group of heaps peer pianos. Without abandoning our "unity on the data of our belief" we can cargo space our individuality and perpetually be associate together in a way that thrust keep happy and celebrate God by becoming fancy Jesus Christ. We must all be, "tuned to His likeness." Equally all is theoretical and done it is not "my way" or "your way" that matters, it is "His way." Jesus having "His way" in all of our hearts is the key to church unity and unity in our homes.
B. Savior
Acts 2:41 says, "After that they that eagerly usual his word were baptized: and the extremely day organize were extra unto them about three thousand souls.
Otherwise they experienced the unity of verse 26, they had to be saved and extra to the church.
C. Canon
Act 2:42a And they continued stedfastly in the apostles' values
Unacknowledged to have unity deteriorating average values is fancy tiresome to mix oil and water. A choral group of ecumenical voices keep harping the unity way of being. When they are saying is, "Christians of all doctrinal shades and beliefs must come together in one visible federation, regardless... Retain, unite!"
I prearranged with Charles Haddon Spurgeon who theoretical "such teaching is false, frantic and wounding. Deep thought adrift must give a demonstration our alignments. Deep thought comes or else unity. Cohesion deteriorating truth is double-crossing. Our Lord's prayer in John 17 must be read in its full context. Show at John 17:17: bless them tell thy truth; thy word is truth.' Single-handedly individuals holy tell the Expression can be one in Christ. To teach more willingly than is to lie to the Gospel."
D. Decency
Act 2:42b and fellowship, and in violation of bucks, and in prayers.
The inconvenient church prayed together on a instinctive basis.
We know the inconvenient church had unity so Acts 2:46 says, "they, recurrent dissertation with one agree,..........and singleness of center,"
