I urge you, my brothers and sisters, for the sake of the name of our Lord Jesus Christ, to agree to live in unity with one another and put to rest any division that attempts to tear you apart. Be restored as one united body living in perfect harmony. Form a consistent choreography among yourselves, having a common perspective with shared values. My dear brothers and sisters, I have a serious concern I need to bring up with you, for I have been informed by those of Chloe’s house church that you have been destructively arguing among yourselves. And I need to bring this up because each of you is claiming loyalty to different preachers. Some are saying, “I am a disciple of Paul,” or, “I follow Apollos,” or, “I am a disciple of Peter the Rock,” and some, “I belong only to Christ.” But let me ask you, is Christ divided up into groups? Did I die on the cross for you? At your baptism did you pledge yourselves to follow Paul? Thank God I only baptized two from Corinth—Crispus and Gaius! So now no one can say that in my name I baptized others. (Yes, I also baptized Stephanus and his family. Other than that, I don’t remember baptizing anyone else.) For the Anointed One has sent me on a mission, not to see how many I could baptize, but to proclaim the good news. And I declare this message stripped of all philosophical arguments that empty the cross of its true power. For I trust in the all-sufficient cross of Christ alone.

Do you feel like you need to grab hold of something but are worried that the hold is weak? No guarantee it will hold, no promise it will stay, or no certainty it will last? The theme of these guided audio meditations is being guaranteed. Day one is the guarantee of God’s grip. Day two is the promise of His love. Day three is the certainty of each new day.
Unity is a popular topic these days, but many who call for unity are not asking the important question: what is unity for? Why does God want His people to experience unity, and what is that unity based upon? In these devotions by best-selling author Tony Evans, he explores why unity is so important for those who want to dedicate themselves to God’s kingdom and rise up as kingdom men!
