a missional prayer

Lord, make me an instrument of your peace. Where there is hatred, let me sow love; where there is injury, pardon; where there is doubt, faith; where
there is despair, hope; where there is darkness, light; and where there is
sadness, joy.

St. Francis of Assisi

Unity in the essentials (acts 4:32)

They were of one heart and one soul..

I think if there is one need in the church today that transcends all other needs, it is the need for the church to be unified on this one principal. We would be far more productive in reaching the lost if we would stop bickering about who or who is not the elect. If we would expend more of our time and energy watching and learning how to use the free will choices of those in bondage, to Christ’s advantage, maybe then, we would spend less time arguing about the complexities of free moral agency.

If only we be unified with the simplicities of the first century church: to be of one heart and one soul, maybe then, we would witness a super-natural harvest transpire right before our eyes like Peter, James and John had on the Mt. transfiguration. Our tents would become temporary, and our vision, eternal!
