The Powerful Witness of Unity – Peacemaker 2 February 8, 2009
Posted by Noel in The Peacemaker Series.trackback
Here’s the sermon in a nutshell….
Our text was Ephesians 4:1-6….
Living at peace is the key to unity Living at peace is a key to our christian witness
Unity does not mean we need to see everything the same way!!
Unity is not necessarily uniform thinking
Real, true unity invites diversity
disagreements do not need to be seen as conflict (m.s.)
UNIFORMITY is the facade of external peace
UNITY is the expression of internal peace
that said, here are this weeks questions:
1. Why does real unity leave room for people to have different opinions?
2. How can diverse ideas about faith and life enrich everyone’s spiritual journey?

If uniformity is the facade, then what is there? Really, uniformity is fuel of the machine of Christianity. It has been the bread and butter since Constantine. Even under great reformation, all it takes is one generation and people’s association become enforced by uniformity instead of ideals and beliefs. Uniformity has been the meaning for a long time. Why mess with it now? Just call it like it is, stop trying to deny it, and do it better than the last generation.
