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.
1 Corinthians 1:10 NIV
How could Christ be so divided
In these times leaves me in awe
Still living as if He did not walk this earth
To be left as orphans with no guide
And not speaking to the ungodly
I see your point from the outside
How many different religions
For the same Jesus can mankind create
Who is in control of religion leaves me to wonder
How we could make such a mess out of it
When One God, One shepherd, One flock
Then One spirit that is available to flow through all
Which seek Christ to resurrect life within
None is good and we all need His spirit within
Therefore none is better than another
But if one has been circumcised from old self
It's not of human hands but of Christ
So none should boast of own works
This is deception into prideful heart
The true source of the living spirit
Sees no religion or race but another living spirit
The root is the true source for all
Without it's support we are but a dead branch
One should rejoice just to be a living branch
Maybe this is for the U.S. it seems other
Places of the world might be better
In these present days we don't have one priest
To read to all to conform to their own glory
Not leaving one a copy to read from
But it's available to most in many ways
That one can read for themselves
But pray for the spirit to give guidance and knowledge
To see how corrupt and deceiving this earth is
Myself, rejected it from early teens
But through the spirit placed within
As I have told I was on a barge boat
For a month at a time, this got me away
From everyday living that I found
Time to open the Bible,book of life
What a difference His word and spirit can create
With a cry out of what was I thinking
Falling victim to deception
This word from God through Christ is alive
The battle within and what's going on around us
Will become so plainly clear.
If we put Jesus first and allow Him to reign
To remove all the things instilled from this evil world
Why can we not come in unity
All from the living root to be but
A small branch with life
He shall give you a flower to bloom
The beautiful clothing from Christ
Which God clothes the wild flowers daily
How much more would God love you.
It's not my will to write on these topics
But through the spirit placed within
And the love for all ones seeking
That just need a spark of hope
To ignite into a walking flame resisting darkness
do not consider yourself to be superior to those other branches. If you do, consider this: You do not support the root, but the root supports you.
Romans 11:18 NIV
It is because of him that you are in Christ Jesus, who has become for us wisdom from God—that is, our righteousness, holiness and redemption. Therefore, as it is written: “Let the one who boasts boast in the Lord.”
1 Corinthians 1:30?-?31 NIV
