I love the smell of yeast and bread rising, and even more the smell of it baking. I’m always a little impatient at the rising part because I can’t wait for the baking part. I’m not sure if I like the smell of freshly-baked bread even more than the taste of it! And since too much bread just turns to fat thighs and belly in mid-life, I try to do just that!
But while I”m waiting, I’d love to hear from anyone who runs across this blog, what you love about the whole Body of Christ in the earth! Then, if you want to, what you love about some of the individual parts – what do you love about the Methodists, the Catholics, the Baptists, the Lutherans, the Church of God-ites (LOL), the Vineyard-ites, the Pentecostals, the Charismatics? Whatever you call them, or whatever they call themselves, in what ways have they and the truths they carry (or guard jealously with fervent zeal!) blessed your relationship to the Father and to Jesus and to the Holy Spirit?
….and they were all with one heart and one mind…
….I urge you, brethren to agree with one another….
…..the unity of the faith….that there may be no schisms among you…
Looking for the things that bless and the ways we agree – these are what we should be striving for, so that the world may say “oh how they love one another!” and want the Father Who has adopted us all through His Son Jesus!!
