Galatians 1 & 2 - Thoughts

...they gave me and Barnabas the right hand of fellowship, that we should go to the Gentiles and they to the circumcised (Verse 2:9)


It is so good to see unity in the church, when believers recognize that each of us has a different ministry and yet we are all working toward the same goal: seeing souls saved.  That is the main focus of Romans 8:28, "all things working together for good."

But it is very important that we don't simply seek unity for the sake of unity.  Paul makes it clear in 1 Corinthians 5 that we should have nothing to do with those who call themselves Christians, yet don't follow the basic doctrines of the Bible.

May we seek unity in the church and not compromise doctrine. It is a balance that can only be achieved by the power of the Holy Spirit. That is why we should be doing all things through His power. (Zech 4:6)
