Make every effort to keep the unity of the spirit through the bond of peace. Eph.4:3 (NIV)
It was he who gave some to be apostles, some to be profits, some to be evangelists, and some to be pastors and teachers, to prepare God's people for works of service, so that the body of Christ may be built up untill we all reach unity in the faith and in the knowledge of the Son of God and become mature, attaining to the whole measure of the fullness of Christ. Eph. 4:11-13 (NIV)
I f we attain to nothing else I believe that unity is important. We as christians must stand together and live as one. One body, one faith and to quote Lee one bride. We are a family and must stand together to face adversity, head on. If the world divides us and causes doctrinal differences to be the deciding factor as to how they see us, the ultimate outcome is a loss for the Lord. We as a family must set aside petty differences and stand in the gap, united, lest we fall down the cavernous depths of failure. One way or the other we are united.
God bless
raise your hands and glorify the Lord!

It 's not poetry, but it is the way
Charles Spurgeon said in a 1859 sermon that the main fault with the Church was that it is not only divided “somewhat” in its creeds and ordinances, it is also “somewhat” divided in its heart. When Christians no longer can love each other unconditionally, when divisions in doctrine become so acid that we cannot cooperate, when we can no longer extend the hand of fellowship to those with whom we disagree, “then, indeed, is the Church of God found faulty.”
