Your Question:

How do we prioritize unity over division when our actions have global consequences?

Answer:

As a pastor and a husband, I've come to realize that prioritizing unity over division is crucial, especially when our actions have global consequences. This is why I believe in an integrated approach to priorities, where every aspect of life is brought under the lordship of Christ. By doing so, we can avoid the frustration of compartmentalizing between sacred and secular, and instead, strive for a unified body of Christ.

When it comes to unity, I think it's essential to focus on our shared purpose and will, rather than just agreeing on a set of goals. Just like how Americans come together in the face of a common threat, we can unite in our pursuit of a common goal, even if we have different perspectives. However, this unity must be grounded in a shared understanding of biblical truth, and not just a superficial agreement.

As I reflect on the doctrine of the Trinity, I'm reminded that true unity is not just about agreeing on a set of principles, but about being one in substance and nature. This is a high standard, but it's one that we should strive for as followers of Christ. By prioritizing unity over division, we can make a more significant impact in the world and demonstrate the power of God's love to a watching world.
