The Body of Christ

I have to confess that sometimes it is so discouraging to deal with community. Recently a debate erupted here on campus as to whether or not pennies sticking to a wall was because of the Holy Spirit or if it was because of science. It was being handled in such a damaging way. Some people would post about the natural science laws, while others would respond in outrage to their lack of faith. In the long run, it didn't matter who was right. The body was destroying itself. Tooth and nail we were ripping each other apart. I have so much confidence in the body of Christ, I know we can do all things through the authority of Christ, but we need to unite. We need to overcome our differences and accept that they exist, yet rally around the things we have in common.
