Divisive Differences

God calls us to live in unity with one another, at peace with one another, overcoming our differences. There is a difference between opposing views and being divisive. No group of people will agree on everything. Our human-ness is just to diverse. but we can work together harmoniously if we agree on what truly matters - God's truth.

I find that the key to overcoming the differences is not to focus on them. Instead, choosing to focus on points of agreement seems to pave the way to overcoming our differences. I can always find reasons to disagree with you. And if I focus on those reasons, we can be truly divided. It may require a little more effort to find reasons to agree with you, but if I'm willing to put forth that effort, that is where we can find unity with each other.
