Dear Brothers, Why Must We Fight?

Dear Brothers,

Why must we fight amongst one another over such small issues in the light of eternity? How is that helping the cause of the gospel to go forth? Is God really pleased that among our churches we have "worship wars?" Can we see past small, minute details and still fellowship with our brothers and sisters who see things a little differently? You know, Christ died for them as well. If only we took Jesus' command to love one another seriously. "By this all people will know that you are my disciples, if you have love for one another." Is this the message we are sending the world by fighting with each other? What if we all went back to the cross of Christ, not a certain denomination or worship style, and made that our identity. Instead of forming little "camps" separated from everyone else, let's embrace the Kingdom that we're a part of.
