Unity in Christ

1. This episode, in some way, is a continuation and further explanation to my most recent episode, “Do Justice”.  If you have not listened to it go check it out!  But I explain why believers should be weary of being swept up in these various ideological movements that are beginning to drip their influence into the church.

2. Why is this important?  Jesus and the NT writers makes it abundantly clear that false doctrines and the ways of the world are going to deceive and distract from the truth. 

3. I do not necessarily believe that Christians can never disagree or adopt a variety of techniques and strategies to present the Gospel, but it seems more and more each day the church is forsaking foundational theology for worldly wisdom and inclusion.  Those in Christ should be more united then divided.  If you are in Christ, someone saying they do not support a LGBTQ affirming, family dismantling organization should not offend you in the least bit!

4. Peter says in 1 Peter 3:8 we are to have unity of mind.  That word unity is translated exactly as it reads when it is used (harmonious, union, of one mind).
