Unity in the Body of Christ

[The Lemon]

Good Point - I apologize for the rambling nature of my post...I was not trying to compare unity with balance...although it seemed that way at the closing of my post. What I should have been more clear about was that unity is often taught in regards to a mission, or mission statement / goals.

Having come from a very program / goal oriented church, I can tell you that balance was the last thing any of us leaders in that church had. Many of us were sold out to the vision to double the assembly, teach Bible studies, etc., etc., but many other people and responsibilites were sacrificed to accomplish the "unity".

At any rate, I don't have my Bible right here with me, but I do remember a scripture that addresses the false balance and how it is an abomination. It can be a logical conclusion that if there is a such thing as a false balance, then there must also be a right balance - and of course the scripture you posted about moderation is also a good example.
