"Now I plead with you, brethren, by the name of our Lord Jesus Christ, that you all speak the same thing, and that there be no divisions among you, but that you be perfectly joined together in the same mind and in the same judgment"
(1 Cor. 1:10).
(1 Cor. 1:10).
Have you ever thought about your "frame of mind"? That's what happens when you place something important in the center of your thoughts and draw a mental box around it. Your "frame of mind" will vary, depending on what you deem important in a situation.
Imagine what can happen when a wide variety of personalities and perspectives are assembled into a church! How can a congregation possible have the same mind or be in agreement?
The key is for the church to adopt a mind frame where the focus is on sharing with the world the great news of Jesus' love and salvation. If we will concentrate on evangelism and missions, we can overcome times of disagreement and conflict.
Dear Lord, may my church have You as the frame of reference.
