Lack of Unity in Today's World
In the world today there is a lot of division, which I find very sad. Why is it so hard to find, create, and maintain unity? One would think that unity would be easier among people of like backgrounds but sadly that to is false. There are many examples of this.
I have a hard time grasping why as women we argue and disrespect each other. The disrespect between females. It is difficult enough to to be a mom, a wife, and a mother; so why do we make it more difficult? It seems like like we find it easy to talk bad about others who do things differently than us. Many working moms say that SAHMs (Stay At Home Mom) are lazy or are less focused. Many SAHMs say that working Mom's aren't spending enough time with their kids. There are some women who take a man from his wife. (I am not saying that the man has no fault in it but this is about a women's role in it.)
The disrespect within marriages. There is a lack of unity between husbands and wives. Each person gets so distracted with protecting his or her own pride. I don't always understand why I feel the need to prove myself right. It's not only over the big stuff, it's the little things like a name of a song. Me being right adds no value to my marriage but if I could be humble and just keep my mouth closed, then it might add value to our marriage.
The disrespect throughout the church is the saddest. I understand that there are some things that we cannot compromise on. Jesus is the only way to God. Jesus died and rose again three days later. Jesus is God and is man. These are some of the essentials to our faith. Anything that is not an essential we can discuss and we can agree to disagree on. We are supposed to have love for other. An agape, God, love for others. The other division in the church is the generational divide. There is a gap between the older generations and the younger generations. The lack of communication only widens the gap. The church is so divided today and yet we are called to be unified.
Ephesians 4:2-6 Be completely humble and gentle; be patient, bearing with one another in love. Make every effort to keep the unity of the Spirit through the bond of peace. There is one body and one Spirit, just as you were called to one hope when you were called ; one Lord, one faith, one baptism; one God and Father of all, who is over all and through all and in all.
