In today’s teaching, we are going to be discussing the unity of the body of Christ. Jesus prayed that we would "be one" that the world might know, but unity is only an answer to prayer when it is attached to the right idea. Unity around the wrong idea is a bad idea. Paul had no problem being out of unity with preachers from Jerusalem that were messing up his work. Sometimes you have to have a healthy difference of opinion in order to arrive at the right conclusion. The big issues I hear talked about by many preachers are important issues, but not the primary. When we got hit with 6 degree weather and the electricity and water went out in Texas we all shifted our priorities. People were all shifting where they stayed and we reached out to those in distress. Survival has a clarifying effect on what is important.
