Division

If you remember, I wrote a piece about how I think music divides. There are other things that divide. Egos. Opinions. Churches.

Did I say churches? Yes, indeed. Although it isn't a process that's been intentionally thought out, it is a fact that churches divide. Think about this. When you go to church, what happens? The son goes to one part, the daughter to another and, if they're lucky, the mom and dad attend class or worship together. Where are the kids?

In the olden daze, we used to go to church together as family. We sat together in the service. Unfortunately, we'd all be divided for Sunday School.

Why? I have no idea except that maybe the powers that be thought it to be a good idea.

Today the church focuses on specific groups i.e. young, old, black, white, Mexican etc... Why is this.

Today the church is changing the message that Jesus spoke to "come and hear" instead of the incredible "Go and Tell". Why?

Jesus' message is clear, "Go ye therefore unto all nations..." The operative word is "go" not come. The next teaching is this. "And ye shall be witnesses". Not witness that say come and hear but witnesses in Judea, Samaria and the uttermost part of the world. Clearly that isn't a 'come and hear' message.

Where have we gone wrong?

Think about it.
