MAY/JUNE 2020 OHBELOVEDONE.COM STRONGER THAN THE DIVIDE

thing bound us together: we were all

there to worship our Lord and Savior

together and to stand united in the

gospel message.

It wasn’t about where we were from

or how people were dressed. It wasn’t

about who went to what church

or what version of the Bible we

preferred. It wasn't about whether we

agreed what genre of music should

be played or what political party

we belonged to. There was a unity

there that I don’t see in many church

buildings, a love that often gets lost

in the minor things.

Just a heads up: I am a PK. I’ve never

not attended church. My family was

the first one there Sunday morning

and the last to leave, and the only

time you didn’t go was when you

were sick or dying (just joking . . .

kinda).

Fellow PKs will understand—you

live and breathe reaching out

to people and being involved in

ministry. That is the blood that flows

through your veins. It’s often so a

part of you, that church becomes a

habit or (if you’re not careful) a ritual

that you can’t imagine not doing

simply because it’s always been there.

I have visited many different churches

of many different denominations,

beliefs, and worship styles. I have

interacted with people in all walks

of life and have boxes of photos and

memories to prove it. Don’t get me

wrong: being a pastor’s daughter

has been one of the challenging yet

rewarding parts about who I am.

Yesterday though in that time of

worship, for the first time in as long

as I can remember, I experienced the

church as it was intended.

The Church isn’t a building, a certain

denomination, or people group. It’s

not about a certain worship style,

music, or whether or not you use

instruments. It’s not about how long

you’ve “been saved,” or if you use

KJV or ESV.
