VOTE FOR ME

The Real Source of Divisiveness and Disunity

After the election of Donald Trump in November 2016 he, Hillary Clinton and Barack Obama called for unity among Americans. This particularly surprised me coming from these three, they all seem quite skilled at divisiveness. They have to be in order to be successful against one another.

I think there is something deeper going on and is originating within the church. As long as Christians are supremely distracted from Jesus Christ, divisions will continue. This is true by default because only he can unite us. Not common theology, not common distinctions, not family ties, not common culture, Jesus and Jesus alone is our unity.

We are distracted by many things. But even devout Christians seem distracted by our “ministries”, even by so-called “preaching the gospel”. These good things divert our attention, resources and energy from our life source. And then cease to be good things because they distract us from the Lord Jesus Christ, they become just idle actions not directed from heaven. Our distractions divide us because they separate us from the one thing that can unite humanity. That is the person of the Lord Jesus Christ.

Obama was not the root cause of our national divisiveness, the church was. He was just the agent that made it happen…this time.

Christians distracted from Jesus Christ….this is currently planet earth’s #1 problem.

What happens exactly when Christians gather together is the single most important happening in all of creation.

All of creation is eagerly waiting on us to look to him, to display him and to bear his image in the earth once again.
