GOD’S HOUSE HAS MANY ROOMS

Brothers and sisters, I encourage all of you in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ to agree with each other and not to split into opposing groups. I want you to be united in your understanding and opinions. [1 Corinthians 1:10 (GW)]

Methodist, Lutheran, Roman Catholic, Baptist, Evangelical, Pentecostal, High Church or Low, Saturday worship or Sunday, written liturgy or spontaneous service, saying “trespasses” or “debts” in prayer – what difference does it really make? We’re all worshiping the same God; it’s just that we’re worshiping him in different rooms in the same house. Some rooms are fancy and some quite plain, some are noisy while others are sedate, some are traditional and others are quite modern, but they are all in the House of God. Let’s not allow denominational or minor theological differences keep us from being brothers and sisters in Christ.

SOMETHING WE ALL HAVE IN COMMON

Healthy people don’t need a doctor – sick people do. I have come to call not those who think they are righteous, but those who know they are sinners [Mark 2:17 (NLT)]

Thank you, Jesus, for providing us with a church family. We can gather together, hear your word, offer prayers and praise, and even come together at your table. We are such a diverse group: young and old, wealthy and poor, coming from all walks of life. Some people are secure in their faith while others are filled with doubt. Yet we all share one thing in common: we all are sinners! Thank you for welcoming sinners into your family, and thank you for your healing hand of forgiveness so that we can begin each day anew.
