1 Corinthians 1:10-12 (New Living Translation)
Divisions in the Church
10 I appeal to you, dear brothers and sisters, by the authority of our Lord Jesus Christ, to live in harmony with each other. Let there be no divisions in the church. Rather, be of one mind, united in thought and purpose. 11 For some members of Chloe’s household have told me about your quarrels, my dear brothers and sisters. 12 Some of you are saying, “I am a follower of Paul.” Others are saying, “I follow Apollos,” or “I follow Peter,” or “I follow only Christ.”
Divisions rightful place is in math class … not in the Body of Christ. The church should have a focus on addition … add souls to the Kingdom. Multiplication also has a place … we should multiply our efforts to live like Christ. Even subtraction … let us take away (subtract) sin, putting off the old man. But NO division!
