Questions on Unity

I owe the dear “reader of my blog” a wrap up post on what the Lord taught me during my journey as shared in the last four (4) posts. But, I have this burden to share below and then will provide the promised post.

The Lord has been putting the need for unity of believers on my heart lately and I ran into a good definition of the Church while I was reading a blog from a new friend (see PS below).
He wrote: “. . . a community of saints who gather on the ground of fellowship in Christ among all the disciples of Jesus in their locality.” I agree with this and will be sharing on this, but today I want to propose a couple of questions.

In my locality how do we move from “going” to church in division to “being” the church in unity?
How does this work itself out practically?

PS – I have not made it a practice of plugging other blogs here, but I would like to recommend one which I have found to be enlightening. The author, Josh Lawson, wrote a post where he presented, much better than I ever could, the unity of the Body. I will be using portions of it as I present my thoughts on the unity,

Grace and Peace
