If people could learn to work together we would be surprise at what we could accomplish, but we don’t. Why? I don’t know I’m asking you! So if you don’t know either then here are my ramblings on the subject. It is a divine design less we think too much of ourselves, and think we are god. Ever read the Tower of Bable story…….I read it as a kid in my picture bible and thought more about it then, but as an adult I just gloss over it when I reading through. But we need to give it a think…….
Genesis 11:1-9 (New International Version)
1 Now the whole world had one language and a common speech. 2 As men moved eastward, they found a plain in Shinar and settled there.
3 They said to each other, "Come, let's make bricks and bake them thoroughly." They used brick instead of stone, and tar for mortar. 4 Then they said, "Come, let us build ourselves a city, with a tower that reaches to the heavens, so that we may make a name for ourselves and not be scattered over the face of the whole earth."
5 But the LORD came down to see the city and the tower that the men were building. 6 The LORD said, "If as one people speaking the same language they have begun to do this, then nothing they plan to do will be impossible for them. 7 Come, let us go down and confuse their language so they will not understand each other."
8 So the LORD scattered them from there over all the earth, and they stopped building the city. 9 That is why it was called Babel because there the LORD confused the language of the whole world. From there the LORD scattered them over the face of the whole earth.
We (God’s creation) like to think we can do anything and we can, but not with out God. That is our problem we like to get the credit and praise because we are our own little god we like to worship. If we as a world could come together and put or minds to it we could end so much wrong in the world. But we can’t because we are to busy looking at and pointing out our differences and fighting over it, that we do nothing. As our world gets smaller in these modern times and we are brought together more, we have done wonderful things, but greed has kept it from benefiting anyone. So we babble on and do nothing….just as planed so long ago.
So why does the church (believers in one God) not do more for this world? If we could come together, work together, and follow the great commission…..how much wonderful work could we do for God? But we don’t. Why? Once again if you have no answer I will chime in. Well I believe the one we battle against has done his own thing to confuse the church and keep us divide. The Body of Christ which should be one church is divided up into denominations. We each have what we believe and focus on that, instead of what we have in common….Christ! I don’t know how it happened and I have often wondered. How the Church in Acts, which work together and had all things in common, through the years got to be the First (insert denomination) Church of the what ever section of town it’s in. The devil did it…….well I don’t know for sure, but he is the author of confusion. So you have to be careful and make sure you’re not confused. And the best way to do that is this. Read the bible for your self! Pray as you read! And let the Holy Spirit speak to you and guide you to a church were you can be of service.
The Church is not only your local denomination, or mega feel good church of non committal. There is only one body of Christ, His church because this body BELIEVES He is the Son of God and salvation comes only through HIM! There is only one Church and if it could focus on what we agree on and stop auguring about what we disagree on, what a wonderful world it would be…..for GOD!
All Christians have God in Common and this we can share with others….....Changing the world is as easy as reaching to the person beside you!
