In the presence of God and of Christ Jesus, who will judge the living and the dead, and in view of his appearing and his kingdom, I give you this charge: 2 Preach the word; be prepared in season and out of season; correct, rebuke and encourage —with great patience and careful instruction. 3 For the time will come when people will not put up with sound doctrine. Instead, to suit their own desires, they will gather around them a great number of teachers to say what their itching ears want to hear. 4 They will turn their ears away from the truth and turn aside to myths.
-2 Timothy 4:1-4
Let us now take down every sign, every billboard that recognizes any distinctions of one Christian from another. Let us remove every false boundary devised of the enemy, all of those invisible walls known as denominations. If you are proud of your heritage carry it on the inside and let your respect of tradition be shone in actions. If you truly dare not to disrespect your parents of faith, then stand to this call of unity which is Christ’ prayer for all those who believe on his name. Let us begin to love each other as Christ has loved, let the world know now that we are his children who call on the name of the lord by the way that we love one another. Let not our factions be imprinted upon the savior, rather let HIS name be written on our foreheads and in our hearts. Let all people find the light because it is shining and pointing to the true savior, not because we have placed a sign that points to us. We should not be worried how the masses will find us, or be concerned what markers they shall use on Sundays to find a place of worship. For when we remove these walls we shall be free to go out of behind them. The place of worship will be the earth and all that is in it. When we remove these wall it shall be like lifting a bowl from a lamp, and all people shall come to the light even as it embarks on a journey to all men.
