Clap your hands, all ye children.

There are a couple of themes in core Christianity that is hard to miss. Some absolutes:One God.One Church.One.Yet so many times in our 'new' Christianity its 'OK' to disaccoicate people over trivial issues. However, I do know that if people started put more emphasis and apathy when appropriate it might look more like.One Jesus.One Church.It's incredibly disappointing when a church decides they are not going to fellowship with one, another becauseGet this:They have a kitchen.I'm totally taken back by their concept. To me, that is something so unimportant it is not worthy of discussion. Much less think about and, at that it would take a cosmic nightmare for me to think I wasn't going to fellowship with a church because of it. Such a trivial issue.Saving Souls? In balance with "Better not have a fridge"?Christ focus- Bring unity.Christian unfocussed, and a kitchen separate brotherhood.I'm sure we're not seeing clearly.That was simply an example. They're many more dumb reasons why churches don't form reliance.But, what if they did?Is there a deeper reason? What really goes on in the minds of these 'Christ-followers' when they severe a ligament of the Body? So sad to me. Truly a disappointing issue. It was never supposed to be like this. Another thing to look at.Is the American Church model the idea Christ had in mind when He said follow me and carry your cross daily?Or do we, Americans often put our own agendas on the plate of ministry and serve ourselves? Does sometimes ministers seem convenient?answers, answers, answers...A self-centered ministry will work faithfully in spiritual futility.Would we -Christians- change the world if there were a movement for unity?Are you more in tune with your doctrine or you savoir?(Knowing complete unity would be impossible)How powerful would we be if all in one accord sing -Christ, our Lord-?Baptist- Labeled by music and SBC.Church of Christ- Labeled by arrogance and acappella.Catholic- Labeled by Priest and Popes.Methodist- Labeled by female ministers and doctrine.Christians labeled by divided beliefs.Jesus labeled by Christians.Does it not seem wrong to you? Does one accord with the Lord not seem like something biblically supported and something?Heavenly.Something Divine.The power of "The Church of America"-Wow.One Gillion members.People that see past denominational walls, deluded doctrine and jaded out played tradition.Contribution this Sunday was -too much to count.Conversions this Sunday was- enough to make even the hardest atheist heartbreak for Jesus.Could you image?Clap your hands all ye children, a unified love.A profound ripple.Clap your hands all ye children. It's the clapping that brings us together. It's so astounding the way all cultures play part in this unified art. Clap your hands ye, children of God. It's the sound of love. O' praises to the Father.In this stain glass window the beauty breaks within, the magnifigance in diversity is shatterd by discord and the colors seperate in ignorance. Not seeing that as a whole they form something bigger than their glass piece, and colors alike. Downcast, you see right through they're supposed color. As they leave gaps of proper pursuit. The Church with the stain glass window from the inside looking. See the separation anxiety, mourns the death of purpose, passion and prominence. In the sanctuary people pray for unity. Children clap their hands, reading John 17 and pray they stop draining the Lamb.
