Uniformity is not unity
There is a shocking truth that seems to be taking considerable time to seep through the body of Christ and permeate our churches. Here we go, we don t all have to look the same. Massive, earth shattering, perspective realigning realization, right? For some of us, this is a self-evidence fact. For many others however, it would appear that this Biblically established truth has somehow evaded our regenerated consciousnesses. I ll never forget a nugget of wisdom my mother shared with me years ago. She said to me God enjoys the beauty of variety. It is because of this fact that He created many types of flowers. They have different fragrances, colours, shades and shapes because if they were all ONE thing, they would fail to capture the essential nature of who God is as creator and limit His expressiveness.
