In our mixed up, twisted, divided, old
wicked world, the saving word for a world
that is splitting apart is the Gospel of Jesus
Christ. This word, SPLIT, seems to be everywhere in our world. We have split personalities,
split families, split nations, split political parties,
split attitudes toward human rights, and a split
world. Our world is in desperate need of a uniting
power. It needs Christ, the Prince of Peace, who
is adequately competent to hold all things together. In the hustle and bustle, ever rushing, competitive world of ours, it seems like everything is
going to pieces. Truth has been torn asunder,
morality has been split to immorality, justice has
deteriorated to bold injustice, and the religious
world is so badly split up until it has brought an
embarrassing mockery on the name of the Lord
Jesus Christ.
This denomination has pulled away
from that denomination; and the split has
been split; and the split split has been split, until
now there are more than 300 churches in America. And men who call themselves ambassadors of
God, stand in the pulpits and in their prayers
thank God for the church of your choice. When I
think of this awful situation, the passage that
comes to mind is: "God is not the author of
confusion but of peace." (I Cor. 14:33) In
other words, God is not responsible for this mixed
up, twisted and divided religious world;
but on the contrary it is rebellious, hard-hearted, disobedient man. THE GOSPEL IS ABLE TO BRING US
TOGETHER RELIGIOUSLY. Paul urges us to be one
in Christ. (I Cor. 1:10) If preachers would stop
preaching what they feel, claimed to have seen and
heard, and just preach the unadulterated word of God,
we are on the way to being one. Preachers need to
speak as the oracles of God. (I Peter 4:11) This glorious gospel can bring us together when we study it and
not just read it. (2 Tim.2:15), rightly divided the word
stop letting the conscience be our guide, lay aside the
creeds of men, and do what God has commanded us to
do.
