The Gathering Together

If you’ve been following this historic 2008 election you’re aware of the fact this this country is split right down the middle. No question about it, this is one close race. Elections, especially presidential ones, remind us that there is not alot of unity in the nation when it comes to the big issues that face us. Disunity is everywhere – man against beast (hello Sarah Palin!) man against man, class against class, nation against nation and ideology against ideology. I can’t even be unified in my own soul and spirit. I am a walking, talking civil war. Within me there is on a daily basis a desire for good and a desire for evil. I hate my sin and love my sin all at the same time. We just started a big Ephesians Bible Study in out student ministry and already I’m excited because of it’s key message - the gathering together of all things in Jesus! It’s central theme is the realization of the disunity in the universe and the conviction that real unity only comes through the Lord Jesus. After months of watching this election unfold, I need me some UNITY!!! Bring it on Jesus………………………
