That thought paralyzes us so we just accept what is: a Church divided into thousands of groups born out of some sort of church split. But what if there is a better solution? What if God is ready to breathe new life into his Church, calling us to profound unity? Would you be part of that? This is not wishful thinking. This is a vision for ending division. If Jesus is Lord, we can be ONE together. INDEXIntroductionPart I: What Jesus Really Wanted1. Jesus Meant One2. Yes, Even One With Them3.

Amen: One Lord, One Faith, One ChurchBibliographyAbout the Author REVIEWIn this passionate appeal, pastor Roger Shenk opens scripture after scripture to explain not only how the divisions in the Church are wrong, and not only why they exist, but what we can do to fix it. Written for pastors and church leaders, this book will inspire any who desire a meaningful unity among those who call Jesus Lord. 'Jesus is Lord.' Roger Shenk calls the church back to this unifying, transformative declaration of faith that served as the first creed of the early Church. Taking seriously the command of Jesus to love one another, One Together holds up a mirror to the unbiblical and divisive attitudes and behaviours that the Church has sheltered within her ranks for far too long.- Bruxy Cavey, Teaching Pastor at the Meeting House; Author of the End of Religion and (re)union: The Good News of Jesus for Seekers, Saints, and Sinners.", "item_img_path" : "https://covers3.booksamillion.com/covers/bam/1/09/026/367/1090263678_b.jpg", "price_data" : { "retail_price" : "14.99", "online_price" : "14.99", "our_price" : "14.99", "club_price" : "14.99", "savings_pct" : "0", "savings_amt" : "0.00", "club_savings_pct" : "0", "club_savings_amt" : "0.00", "discount_pct" : "10", "store_price" : "" } }
