JOIN TOGETHER WITH ONE VOICE!

ROMANS 15: 5-6

"May God, who gives patience and encouragement, help you live in complete harmony with each other, as is fitting the followers of Jesus Christ. Then, all of you can JOIN TOGETHER WITH ONE VOICE, giving praise and glory to God".

Do you think there is unity within the Christian Church? Do you think that all Christians speak with one voice? Do you believe that we live in harmony, giving praise and Glory to God? Our One Truth Today tells us what God wants and desires of His Church. The Lord knows that we will need encouragement and patience to live in complete harmony with one another but it is His desire that we JOIN TOGETHER WITH ONE VOICE! All Christians have one thing in common. We know and Love God, and we understand that we are here on earth to praise and worship God. We all do it individually, but the prayer is that God gives us the patience and encouragement to live in harmony with one another. Give praise and glory to God together!

We need to be steadfast in our desire to live in mutual harmony. We need to be of one accord in worshiping Jesus Christ the Lord God. We need to have each of our hearts right with God and then the encouragement and patience to JOIN TOGETHER WITH ONE VOICE. Many of us have reached that point of maturity in the Lord that we can join with other believer's and do as the Lord desires. Many times we have attempted to unite all Christians and focus on the person of Jesus Christ. Many times dogma and doctrines and religiosity have gotten in the way. The focus has gone away from the Lord and been directed to individuals and their church. May God give us patience and encouragement to live in complete harmony with each other, as is fitting for the followers of Jesus Christ.

We need to look for opportunities to join with other followers of the Lord and share our worship and love. We need to collectively praise and glorify the Lord God. In the "upper room" in Jerusalem people from all around the world join together and sing praises to their Lord, in harmony and in love. We unite our voices and our hearts, singing the same song in many languages. We become One Body of Jesus Christ. Our divisions become secondary to the purpose of our whole life, to worship Jesus Christ the Lord God. If it is possible to do this in one instance then it can be duplicated and repeated if only we have the desire. Make a promise to yourself and God that you will be a uniter and not a divider. JOIN TOGETHER WITH ONE VOICE!
