Recently, I've been hearing about internal divisions within churches and even stories of churches closing down.
This is happening even in this small church in Okinawa...
...This isn't someone else's problem...I pray that this doesn't happen to me either, and if I find any seeds of division, I'm determined to resolve them quickly!
...Paul pleads, "Please, everyone, be united and do not quarrel amongst yourselves."
...If there is conflict within our church...😨
Who would consider us to be Christ's disciples...🤔❓️?
...While church divisions aren't always caused by problems among the members,...there are also cases where problems in the pastor's ministry lead to internal conflict.
✳️ For example, when theological teachings deviate from the Bible...😓
...For churches in Okinawa and Japan to rise up...
Churches with the same vision must come together, cooperate, and pray for one another.
...Unless this happens, we cannot expect great results.

…It is Satan 😈 who brings church problems into this.

…I think our church is also a target of Satan's attacks.

…Therefore, in church, we must forgive and not judge others❗️.
Have a good weekend 🙏
Shalom 😃
