Builders

It breaks my heart when I hear Christians putting down other Christians. I know that we all like to think that our group or our denomination has all the right answers about God, which means that “the others” are wrong; but, the truth is that God is bigger than our group’s thinking. Jesus battled the same skewed ideals when in Mark 9:40 He said, “For the one who is not against us is for us.” His was a response to His disciples inquiries about how to handle the “others”, the ones not in their group, but still working in the name of Jesus. I can only imagine how different Christianity, yes even our world, would look if just us Christians got along. Lord, help me today to not focus on the different beliefs that others have about You, but on how big You really are. Let me be a builder of the Kingdom, instead of a destroyer. Amen. Blessings
