Introduction
Herding cats.
What is in the way of unity?
There is often so much in the way of getting things accomplished.
In our garage, if I go to do anything, I have to move what seems like a thousand bikes, boxes, toys and various sundry of items . . .
They are all in the way of getting accomplished what I need to do.
Last week I the privilege of changing the oil in the car.
before I could, I had to pick up toys and move Rodney’s little tractor.
When I finally was able to get all the stuff out of the way, I could quickly complete the task at hand.
If we are going to adequately do our purpose of Connecting people to God, Growing together in Christ and Serving all there are things we need to get out of the way.
These may be things corporately but more often than not, these are things that must be cared for individually.
We should eliminate doctrinal instability.
Many times when we are unstable on what the Bible actually says, it is easy for someone with passions and craftiness to move us from the truth.
Eliminate spiritual immaturity, which leads to a proper love for each other, which is in direct opposition to division.
Rightly dividing the Word has, at its core, the ability to focus on the important thing and leave the other stuff behind.
2 tim 4:
The Word of God is the source of all we do and say.
We must not deviate from Word! Unity in the church, is found when we are all focused on the Word.
Avoid thinking in these fashions, they create division:
Vanity of Mind—is where we create ourselves to be something more in our mind than what we really are.
This causes ignorance and blindness in your heart.
The mind and hearts of these gentile people were overrun with filthiness in order to just get more.
The idea that each church member would desire more and more, means that they are so entrenched in selfishness that they cannot see nor care about the well being of anyone else in the ministry.
What is the way of unity?
Learn Christ.
Ephesians 4:
To know Him and be known by Him.
It causes us to be a new man.
To be converted, but also to have a daily desire to closer and closer to Christ, creates a unity that is unbreakable.
Put Off
Put Away
Eph
Eph 4:45
Eph.
4:
Put this behaviour back in the drawer of, never to be reconsidered.
Put this behaviour back in the drawer of, never to be reconsidered.
Eliminate the holding places for the Devil
Eph.
4:26-
Listen to the Spirit of God
Eph.
4:30-
Allow the spirit that seals you also convict you.
In being convicted take the bitterness, wrath, anger, clamour and evil speaking and put it away from you with all malice.
MALICE—desire to cause pain, injury or distress to another.
It is the opposite of holding something in virtue.
On the contrary we are to be a people who are kind, tender hearted and forgiving.
The qualifier here is, even as God for Christ’s sake hath forgiven you.
Conclusion
What is in the way of your unity with Christ?
Do you know Him as savior?
Christian, what is in the way of your unity with the church?
Christian are you on the road to unity with God’s people or are constantly distracted by that which the Lord asks us to avoid, put off or put away?
Would you deal with that today?
