What are your thoughts on something like this? A Call for Local Churches to Unite in Worship and Mission
I am reaching out with a conviction that now is the time for the Church to move beyond division and come together as one body of Messiah. While denominational structures may remain, our communities must begin to reflect the unity Yeshua prayed for in John 17: “that they may all be one, just as You, Father, are in Me and I in You.” And Paul appeals to the church, 1 Corinthians 1:10 , saying, "I appeal to you, brothers and sisters, in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ, that all of you agree with one another in what you say and that there be no divisions among you, but that you be perfectly united in mind and thought." For too long, Christianity has been fractured by denominationalism, theological disputes, and institutional barriers. This division has weakened our collective witness and made it difficult to stand as a moral and spiritual authority in the world. Yet Yeshua Himself prayed in John 17 that we would be one, just as He and the Father are one. If we are to reclaim our influence—both spiritually and politically—the Church must first learn to stand as one body. The story of Solomon and the two women in 1 Kings 3:16-28 offers a powerful metaphor for our current crisis. The Church is the disputed child, torn between factions, with each group claiming ownership over the truth. Yet the true mother—the one who values life over control—is the one willing to surrender her claim for the sake of unity. This is the wisdom we need now: leaders who will prioritize the life of the Church over their own positions or institutions. When Christians stand united, we can provide a model for others. Only then will the other Abrahamic faiths—and the world at large—see the power of divine truth in action. Christianity was meant to be a light to the nations, but a divided house cannot stand. If we fail to unify, we risk losing not only our moral authority but also our ability to shape the culture and policies that protect religious freedom and biblical values. For too long, congregations have remained separate—often meeting in the same towns, sometimes just blocks away from one another, yet rarely worshiping together. This division is not only unnecessary but weakens our collective witness. Imagine the power and testimony of all believers in a community standing together in worship, fellowship, and mission. This is not just an idea; it is something we can begin implementing immediately.
