standard has opted forunity. It is how to obtainthat unity that is at stake.
The real dilemma for us isthe definition of diversity.
Diversity in the worldstandard has beendefined as you are
different from me and weaccept that.
The gathering spoken ofin Ephesians 1.10 has onlyone focus. That is theperson of Jesus Christ.
This the one reality, thatany other gatheringoutside of this gatheringis deceptive anddestructive in nature.
The two components ofthis gathering are Truthand Holiness

Our world has theingredients for unity asLove and Experience.
Truth has becomesubjective and what isright for you is right foryou.
This changes the natureof biblical unity fromcalled out to all
inclusive
Truth crosses allpersonal lines ofinterpretation and life.
Holiness is the mandatefor what that truthproduces in us.
This creates one reality
which is objective in theperson of Jesus Christ.

guise of love.
The reality of thisgathering is that thereare differences, andthere is conflict.
We humble ourselvesunto the calling of JesusChrist and His words.The New Testament is acomposite of thoseconflicts and therecorrections.

Diversity, The Miracle of the Body
Personal Unity is a pre-requisite of Body Unity
Love is the motivation for keeping on keeping on.Love can only be defined by God. It is whatenables us to move into this unity. Wereciprocate love to God as it is shed abroad in ourhearts by the Holy Spirit.
It is what keeps us from throwing in the towel onthis world, and motivates us towards eternal life
for all in spite of how they irritate us. The value ofa human life is worth forgiving, and changing ouragendas.

Diversity, The Miracle of the Body
The failure in our world to resolve conflict andhurt has left us with individualism andisolationism.
The trend of the 21st century is to agree that weare just no good, stay away from peoplebecause all they do is hurt us. We communicatefrom empty rooms and electronic outlets.Courage is lost in faceless conversations.
The value of humanity is no longer defined by thestory of The Velveteen Rabbit but by Inpenatrable Translucent Houses

James 3. 13-17 Who is a wise man and
endued with knowledge among you? Let him
show out of a good conversation his works
with meekness of wisdom. But if ye have
bitter envying and strife in your hearts, glory
not, and lie not against the truth. This wisdom
descendeth not from above, but is earthly,sensual, devilish. For where envying and strife
is, there is confusion and every evil work.

If you fail to resolve conflict or things in your lifefor God, you are opening the door to division. Ibelieve that division is progressive in nature just
as any seed planted by the enemy. The life of Peter
Matthew 18. 21 The came Peter to him, and
said Lord, how oft shall my brother sin against
me, and I forgive him? Till seven times? Jesussaith unto him, I say unto thee, Until seven times:but Until seventy times seven

Matthew 16.22,23 Then Peter took him, and
began to rebuke him, saying, Be it far from
thee ,Lord: this shall not be unto thee. But he
turned, and said unto Peter, Get thee behind
me, Satan: thou art an offense unto me:
Peter evaluates things that are happening
from an earthly paradigm

John 18.10 Then Simon Peter having a sword
drew it, and smote the high priests servant,
and cut off his right ear. The servants name
was Malchus.
Was Peter trying to impact the plan of God
based on his soul power. His intellect, his plan
his defense.

him. A crisis of demonic activity to save
himself

Where are we at, we have been commanded
to be one. This one involves inter-personal
relationships from our natural families to our
church family.
The devil wants to destroy our unity that is
love based and Jesus driven.
I want to look at the New Testament, the
conflicts
