Promotes Healthy Relationships

-Matthew 5:23-24
Have ever watched a special where stars raise money for a charity. I heard an interview once with a director who puts these types of events together and they asked him how he got these big celebrities to come together and not get their egos involved. He simply replied that there was no problem with this because there was a bigger cause at hand.
This is why we need to promote healthy relationships as the church. We need to get past our petty arguments (because that is what our arguments are they’re petty) and work to resolve them as we unite for a greater purpose, making disciples of our Lord Jesus Christ. We have a greater calling. And there is a much higher purpose for the church then to argue and disagree about what color we paint the gathering place. That higher calling is to worry about the world’s eternal salvation. There are people in this very community that do not know the love of our Lord Jesus Christ and that is the greatest reason I could ever think of to lay down our petty differences and unite to save the people of our community in the name of Jesus Christ. We will never agree on everything and in fact if we did we would have a much different problem. But we should be able to agree that people need Jesus and this is a much higher calling than any difference we might have.
