Divided We Fall

[HoneyDew]

If there is ever a time we as adventist Christians need to be united, it is now. Jesus prayed for His followers that we may be one. One in spirit and one in purpose. To be any other way, is to negate the will of our Saviour.

May the rest of your week be spirit-filled and wonderful.

Some though prefer exclusivity and the idea of being "the only true" ones.... Call it the Elijah syndrome.....

1Kings 19:13-14

And when Elijah heard it, he wrapped his face in his cloak and went out and stood at the entrance of the cave. And behold, there came a voice to him and said, "What are you doing here, Elijah?" (14) He said, "I have been very jealous for the LORD, the God of hosts. For the people of Israel have forsaken your covenant, thrown down your altars, and killed your prophets with the sword, and I, even I only, am left, and they seek my life, to take it away."

1Kings 19:18 But I still have 7,000 people in Israel whose knees have not knelt to worship Baal and whose mouths have not kissed him."

How true, and hopefully this time there are more than 7000 others whose knees have not knelt to worship Baal and whose mouths have not kissed him.......

Details, details... attention to them or ignore them....

I is ALWAYS the "little things" that "get us"....

Funny, we mostly miss them ONLY when we are too busy looking for things that support our agenda......
