MAY/JUNE 2020 OHBELOVEDONE.COM STRONGER THAN THE DIVIDE
We are supposed to embrace our
brokenness and remember the
healing Christ promises. Instead
we leave our junk at home and play
perfection, when that is the last
thing Jesus asks of us. Our junk
is the very reason we need Him.
We are broken people. I have seen
too many Christians divided over
worship music styles or service
times instead of focusing on what
really matters.
We should step up and learn
together, to realize we are each on
a journey for Truth. We should all
be willing to learn, to admit that at
times we're right and you're wrong
and . . . sometimes we're both
wrong. The church is a place to be
challenged, to grow, to heal, to rise,
to be united in the common goal
to live our lives for the One who
made us.
I feel we have forgotten what it
means to love as Christ. We accept
who we want and leave out the
rest. The Jesus Movement of my
grandparents' and parents' day has
long since faded. We’re back to the
generation hungry for authenticy,
something real we can grasp,
something more than what the
world is offering us.
Time says that millennials are
dying from what they call, “deaths
of despair.”
It hurts my heart, this darkness.
And yet I too am guilty.
The reality is we are all broken, but
the reality also is that we are Loved
despite that. That alone gives me
hope.
As I stood in worship with people
from my home state, as I watched
churches come together as the
church, it gave me hope—hope
that we can stand together as God
intended, that the love of Christ is
stronger than the divide we create.
And that Love alone is going to
carry me into tomorrow.
Churchgoers are
like coals in a fire.
When they cling
together, they keep
the flame aglow;
when they separate,
they die out.
— Billy Graham
