http://www.gospelines.com "Differences" The following quote is credited to Billy Graham. Although I cannot verify that he actually said these words, they nonetheless should be taken to heart by every Christian. "Let's take the things that set us apart, that make us different, that cause us to disagree, and make them an occasion to compliment each other and be thankful for each other." We are frequently so fixated on our differences that we totally overlook our common interests; and, in the process, fail to work together to spread the name of Jesus. Perhaps we've forgotten that "God causes everything to work together" for the good of those who love Him... if we'll let Him. The world is bombarded with the details of how we're different... we love to talk about our disagreements. The Baptists disagree with the Lutherans; the Lutherans disagree with the Catholics; and the Catholics disagree with the Pentecostals. Everywhere we look, our differences are paramount. But, if we could learn to spend as much time focusing on our similarities as we do on our differences, the Gospel of the Kingdom would preached throughout the whole world and all nations would have the opportunity to hear. GospeLines Prayer: Father, in the precious name of Jesus, we humbly ask that you open our eyes to those things that are of You and help us to look beyond those things that are of men. Help us to honor and respect our traditions; but to never place them above Your Word. Father, keep our eyes on the prize through Your Holy Spirit. Amen. O.
