Colossians 1:19-20

¹⁹For God was pleased to have all his fullness dwell in him, ²⁰and through him to reconcile to himself all things, whether things on earth or things in heaven, by making peace through his blood, shed on the cross.

We tend towards dividing and tearing down

Jesus unites and reconciles

whether things on earth or things in heaven|||||||||||||||

We argue between the following...

Big Church or Small church
Giving to Church or Giving to Justice causes
Jews or Gentiles
Greeks or non Greeks
Rich or Poor
Developed or Undeveloped
Black or White
Loud or Quiet
Shout or Whisper
Happy or Sad
Laughter or Crying
Resting or Working
Leader or Follower
Organic or Structured
Corporate or Personal
Stadiums or Houses
Preaching or Sharing
Young or Old
Fast or Slow
Spirit or Teaching
Inspiration or Doctrine
Heaven or Earth...

We take sides, we miss the point, we cause division, we miss the opportunity.

God is the God of both.

Why not embrace both.
