Daily Examination
A neighboring town has a new pastor who was ordained in the
Presbyterian Church, but he has served a pastor in other denominations. His new
church is described as, ‘a multi-denomination church affiliated with the
Evangelical Lutheran Church of America, the Presbyterian Church (USA), the
United Methodist Church and the United Church of Christ. Does that just not make your head spin? I
suppose the pastor could keep unity in the pews if he kept ‘love’ as the topic
for all his sermons. Actually this multi-denominational church may be forced to
follow in the footsteps of Berea. “…for
they received the message with great eagerness and examined the Scriptures
every day to see if what Paul said was true. Many of the Jews
believed, as did also a number of prominent Greek women and many Greek men.”
(Acts 17:11b-12 NIV)

Gail;
-----Maybe in their examining the Scriptures to see if what each other was saying is true, they might come across the ones that say, “For when one says, ‘I belong to Paul,’ and another, ‘I belong to Apollos,’ are you not merely men?” and, “I have applied all this to myself and Apollos for your benefit, brethren, that you may learn by us not to go beyond what is written, that none of you may be puffed up in favor of one against another.” (I Cor 3:4 and 4:6).
Love you all,
