A divided house
For years I have watched as the different Apostolic groups kept to themselves and watched as the different wings of the church divided themselves. We just can not keep on creating new organizations every time there is a disagreement over some petty issue.
We have a divided house, with the ultra con on one side and the ultra lib on the other. But it is even harder on those of us who consider ourselves middle of the road believers, we get attacked by both the extreme conservatives and the extreme liberals. We need to spend a little less energy attacking each other.
I keep on saying that a divided house can not stand, and the Apostolic movement is a divided house. All these divisions among apostolic brethren make us weaker. We need to unite and present a stronger front.
Some Apostolic ministers worry about keeping the church pure, and are obsessed about pulling out the tares, but Jesus said let the tares grow up together with the wheat. God will sort out the true believers from those who are not, he will know the wheat from the chaff.
We need to put aside our petty little differences and unite on a common ground. as long as we are divided by minor differences we will never make a great impact upon our world.
