Frequently Asked Questions
Does unity mean we must agree on everything?
No. Unity is not uniformity. Christians can disagree on secondary issues while remaining united in essential truths. Ephesians 4:3 says to maintain unity 'in the bond of peace' — meaning love and respect hold us together even through disagreements.
How do I pursue unity when others don't?
Romans 12:18 says 'as much as lieth in you, live peaceably with all men.' You can only control your part. Pursue peace, extend grace, refuse gossip, and leave results to God. Sometimes unity requires boundaries, but always requires love.
