You shall not add to the word which I am commanding you, nor take away from it, that you may keep the commandments of the Lord your God which I command you. -Deut 4:2 (NASB)
I had a short discussion with a buddy at work this past week. If God's Kingdom is supposed to be here on earth as well, and we know there's no denominations in Heaven- why is the church separating itself with denominations and losing ground in this nation?!? I also read that Muslims and Mormons are the two fastest growing religious groups in America- yet we spend all of our time bickering about which "church" is the best and teaching our kids tales of bunny rabbits and flying reindeer rather than our Savior's return. We have different stances on topics such as pro-homosexualtiy and church buildings closing left and right. There were NO denominations when Christ walked the earth, and He is coming back for ONE Bride- not to pick and choose the best out of the group. It's time for the Church to regain what it was created to do- and that's spread the Good News and reach the lost while we still have time.
One such event that is taking an approach to this is the "Gathering the Bride" here in Grand Rapids, MI on July 14th. This is a gathering of the Body of Christ (we're all one) to worship and pray for our city, state, and nation as a whole.
