Yesterday I posted about how Christianity removed the walls. Walls were torn down between all classes of people: rich and poor; old and young; educated and uneducated; adults and children; male and female; and so much more. However, are our churches today building walls where Christianity destroyed them. We have segregated congregations; we divide our church into various age groups. Now there is a place for some division but that should only be to reach out to invite others into the larger group.
When we were at candidate school before we went to the Philippines we were ask to attend a Chinese church. That church welcomed us with open arms even though we were the only non-Chinese people there. We could not understand the language but we understood the worship. This is not the division I am talking about. These people divided along common language so that they could minister to the larger population.
