The Bible says that the early church was experiencing tremendous growth. People were daily coming to faith in the Lord Jesus and a great revival was going on. A part of this was that the people were of one heart and one soul. What this means is they were in agreement about what they were doing. Now, this isn’t to say that the people of that time always agreed on everything, but they were in agreement as to the Lordship of Christ, the call to witness, and the resurrection of Christ. My brothers and sisters, if we as Jesus’ followers can agree on those central truths, then we can turn the world upside down with the power of the gospel. I don’t care if a brother is southern Baptist, Independent Baptist, Freewill Baptist, Methodist, Presbyterian, Pentecostal, or Lutheran, if he is serious about winning souls for Jesus Christ then he is on my side – and I’m on his. Believers of today must begin to focus upon the one who gave us the Great Commission in the first place – the Lord Jesus Christ.
Let’s stop bickering with one another about what we don’t agree on and start working together on what we do agree on and that is that Jesus Christ is Lord, and through Him there is salvation, new life, life eternal, and Holy Spirit power that overcomes the world.
