Sometimes what we are called to do is so simple; 'Be of one mind, live in peace.'. We can only wish it were so easy to carry out. I look at how the church has fractured throughout the centuries. It's hard to believe we have any kinship with the different branches and orthodoxies. Yet most of God's body is still trying to do the same thing, pursue truth and righteousness. We may have a long way to go if aiming for perfection involves being of one mind and living in peace. If it was difficult for the early church, that difficulty is multiplied many times over now, but it should always be our goal. If we all have the same eternal destination, then what better time to start living in peace than now?
