Unified disunity has a conundrum - action creates new disunity, but inaction leaves us with the existing disunity
There is a difference between knowing what needs to be done and doing it.
What would happen if the protective walls disappear?
- Peace, unity, and direction comes from others fighting battles for you
- People may miss why / how we have peace, unity, and direction
We need to tell the difference between necessary conflict and disunity.
Experience, wisdom, and qualificaiton:
- Seek each other's maturity in Christ - maturity matters to God
- Maturity is needed to teach transgressors how to avoid sin in the futur
- Fighting the potential of sin is a fight worth having
- Fighting the right battles is necessary for the church to retain its saltiness
- Personal holiness before God matters
What are we committed to?
