Have you as I often heard or even said yourself,‘we can agree to disagree?”
I have come to think that is not Biblical. I have yet to find an address in Scripture that says we are allowed to agree to disagree. Example.
Paul and Barnabas had such a disagreement they parted company.
They did not agree to disagree.
Their disagreement had to do with John Mark. (Don’t you just love that name? John Mark. Sounds like his mama could have yelled that out the backdoor so well.) Paul did not want John Mark to go along on their next missionary journey and Barnabas did.
Check it outHERE. Sometime later Paul changed his mind about John Mark. (2 Timothy 4:11)
So perhaps he and Barnabas came to a time they could keep company again even before they got to Heaven.
I hope so.
It is the will of the Father that His children be of one accord. (See Acts 2)
Scripture asks us this question:
Amos 3:3 (NKJV) 3 Can two walk together, unless they are agreed?source
In the Body of Christ, we don’t get to agree to disagree over Sin. We don’t get to agree to disagree over Scripture. We get to come together in one accord and pray until we KNOW what GOD has said and webothagree with HIM which puts us in agreement with one another.
Red carpet or Blue carpet? Really? Are we going to divide the Body over that?! For these kinds of matters to bring us to hot words and slamming doors means we have far, far, far uglier problems in our hearts than carpet color.
May I please for today share a YouTube with you for your edification? Perhaps you will find the history shared of interest; perhaps you will learn of events and happenings for the first time as did I. And perhaps you will see this ancient story is here with us still in replay.
Just a few verses to read, remember and take to heart.
Hebrews 4: 14 Therefore, since we have a great high priest who has ascended into heaven, Jesus the Son of God, let us hold firmly to the faith we profess. 15 For we do not have a high priest who is unable to empathize with our weaknesses, but we have one who has been tempted in every way, just as we are—yet he did not sin. 16 Let us then approach God’s throne of grace with confidence, so that we may receive mercy and find grace to help us in our time of need. source
Yet HE did not sin. And because HE did not. And because HE has saved us. Let us pray. Let us believe. Let us receive grace, strength, and all provisions needed for this day. Amen Yeshua HaMashiach
A most important word.
Full of power and comfort.
When used in conjunction with Scripture.
2 Corinthians 10:5 (NKJV) 5 casting down arguments and every high thing that exalts itself against the knowledge of God, bringing every thought into captivity to the obedience of Christ, source
When renegade thoughts invade with intent, stop is a refuge for deliverance.
Just that simple word spoken with the authority of the Blood of JESUS will shut the mouths of lions seeking YOU to devour.
Say it out loud.
Experience casting down those crippling, haunting, malicious thoughts. Stop.
1 Peter 5:8(NKJV) 8 Be sober, be vigilant; because your adversary the devil walks about like a roaring lion, seeking whom he may devour.source
Stop!
Use it today.
You will surely need it.
I did.
That’s how I was prompted to share it with you this morning.
We are glad you are here; stay a while, look around, and be encouraged. We estimate there to be over 3,000 posts here at The White Stone Blog. Please know my hope is ALWAYS to help and NEVER harm. I have voiced many opinions and thoughts here since 2007 and by now I MAY NOT EVEN AGREE with all of them and some of my grammar and punctuation likely needs editing. But this is changeless: JESUS is our ONLY Savior and Hope. Do you KNOW Him?
