Be Not Divided. March Together

We have all faced battles that we thought we faced alone. Christ was always with us every step of the way, but also, there was someone who was praying for you. With tears in their eyes, they cried to God on your behalf. When you see a fellow follower of Christ who is struggling, do not hurl criticism at them, for you were once down as well. Do not keep them in that pit by steadily throwing dirt on top of them; you reach down into the pit and offer them a hand. All children of God are fighting against the same enemy, granted, it may be different circumstances, but its the same enemy. Let us fight right along side our brothers and sisters in Christ. Offer encouragement and correction, and challenge them to move forward and grow in Christ. The enemy hurls his fiery darts at every believer in Christ, so those believers do not need you to hurl yours at them as well. A building is just a building, but the church is comprised of every believer of Jesus Christ; it has nothing to do with denominations, but everything to do with faith in Christ Jesus. If you have a disagreement with another brother or sister in Christ, settle it, for the fight is not with them. If you see a fellow brother and sister down, pick them up and carry them until they can stand again. This is war, and if the warriors are divided, they will fall, however, the true warriors of Christ will march as one and will not be defeated and the ones who play "Christian", will fall to the side; as warriors, we follow our mighty General, the Lord Jesus Christ. Mercy and grace be with you all.
