The goal is for all of them to become one heart and mind—
Just as you, Father, are in me and I in you,
So they might be one heart and mind with us. The same glory you gave me, I gave them,
So they’ll be as unified and together as we are—
I in them and you in me.
Jesus
The word's of Jesus got me thinking, if He and the Father are one, then why is the Body of Christ so separate? Just think about it, there are many buildings (tools), that many like to call church, that are sitting empty 5 days a week. If we are all working for the same goal, which is the advancement of the Kingdom of God, then why so much division? Here is a question I would like some help answering, do you think two or three local congregations could use one building? They don't have to meet at the same time, but they can be working for the same goal. If anyone has feed back on this I would love to hear it, I have found NOTHING on the internet or from any other source about this.
Just some thoughts from a sinner on his journey home.
peace, byron

Byron,
Yes, I do think that local congregations can use one building.
As long as we agree to let Jesus Christ be the gate (door) and the building be the pasture.
John 10:9 (NLT)
9 Yes, I am the gate. Those who come in through me will be saved. Wherever they go, they will find green pastures.
Romans 12:5 (NLT)
5 so it is with Christ's body. We are all parts of his one body, and each of us has different work to do. And since we are all one body in Christ, we belong to each other, and each of us needs all the others.
I feel that what was said in Romans is so very true. Maybe it is a means of different congregations pulling together to become just that...the body of Christ...
John 10:16 (NLT)
16 I have other sheep, too, that are not in this sheepfold. I must bring them also, and they will listen to my voice; and there will be one flock with one shepherd.
We are all God's flock, he provides the pasture..I say..Let's share it... and Christ would want us to.

Byron,
This will not contribute at all to the subject at hand. But I wanted to let you know I've ventured back into blogging, again. Check the blog out at: http://www.robwestbrook.com.
