Bible Note: Angel Thank you. I think we (most of all me) all need to rethink our positions on denominations, how we talk about them, how we view them, how we treat people that belong to a different denomination. Are we allowing Satan with his pettiness separate us? Are we really preferring our brother or do we kind of look down our nose and say too bad he has not arrived as I have? Should we rest on the adage of, ‘well we agree on the essentials’ and leave things the way they are or do we say unity is an essential and strive toward that. Do we even consider how the world views our treatment of each other in the name of denominations? The question each of us (me most of all) need to ask ourselves is when we stand before Christ is there anything we are going to regret doing that we did in the name of denominationalism and all that entails?
