The Pattern

What happens if you cut out 100 items using the previous one as a pattern? By the time you get to the last one it doesn't resemble the first at all. There can only be one pattern. Paul gives us the pattern for unity in the church. The pattern is that we speak with one mind, or as the NIV says we agree with one another. Now that doesn't mean that we all agree to sing only hymns or that we wear the same type of clothes to church but it means that we are in agreement about the fundamental doctrines, the Gospel. If we cannot agree on the gospel then we will have divisions within the church.
