Our ministry is to reach out to the world with the Good News of Jesus Christ and to help believers be equipped with a solid knowledge of the Word of God, the Bible, and be encouraged to apply it in every aspect of their daily lives. There are simple truths for these complex times to help people live in a way that brings real spiritual victory to them and more importantly, through the Lord Jesus Christ, glory to God our Father.

1 Corinthians 3:4
For when one says, "I am of Paul," and another, "I am of Apollos," are you not mere men?

The apostle Paul had written in the beginning of that letter to the church in Corinth that there should be no divisions among them, that they should have the same mind and judgement. {1Cor.1:10} And of course if we all had the mind of Christ as we should we would surely have the unity that Jesus desires for us.

He prayed for us to the Father even as He was headed to the horror of, the glory of, the cross. Lifting His eyes to heaven He said, "...Father, keep them in Your name, the name which You have given Me, that they may be one even as We are …" {Jn.17:21} Our unity, or more likely, our disunity, was on His mind as He pre-prayered to give all for us, surrendering all for us.

Satan on the other hand is focused on causing division in the family of God just as he did in the Garden of Eden because, today as then:
  - Our division lessens the manifestation of His presence
    (Mat.18:20)
  - Our division impedes our prayer life
    (Mat.18:19)
  - Our division weakens us
    (Ecc. 4:9,12)
  - Our division hampers our evangelism
    (Jn. 17:21)
  - Our division slows or prevents God from perfecting us
    (Jn.17:23)
  - Our division infects and affects our praise and worship
    (Rom.15:5-6)
  - Our division blocks the Lord meeting our needs
    (Acts 4:32-34)
  - Our division separates us from the Lord
    (Mat.25:34,40-45)

I will gladly fellowship with people who dress differently than I do, eat differently than I do, talk differently than I do, sing different songs than I do, sing louder or softer than I do, {Rom.14:1-3} as long as they have been washed by the blood of the Lamb, and like us now, are more than 'mere men’. With all of that said, remember that we are instructed:

“Do not be unequally yoked with unbelievers. For what partnership has righteousness with lawlessness? Or what fellowship has light with darkness? What accord has Christ with Belial? Or what portion does a believer share with an unbeliever?
What agreement has the temple of God with idols? For we are the temple of the living God; as God said, "I will make my dwelling among them and walk among them, and I will be their God, and they shall be my people.
Therefore go out from their midst, and be separate from them, says the Lord, and touch no unclean thing; then I will welcome you, and I will be a father to you, and you shall be sons and daughters to me, says the Lord Almighty.” (2 Corinthians 6:14-18)
