STAND DOWN // S11E04

What are we fighting for? The Lord, or our opinions? When the study of God becomes more important than our pursuit of Him, we find division and distrust among brothers and sisters in Christ. We learn much from Scripture, but Spirit-filled believers seem to still come to varying conclusions that often drive wedges between us. As the thief of the cross hung dying, he put his faith in Christ and would soon find himself in Paradise—if that is all it takes to be saved, why is there so much hostility within the Church at large?
