Matthew 5:23-26 NIV
“Therefore, if you are offering your gift at the altar and there remember that your brother or sister has something against you, [24] leave your gift there in front of the altar. First go and be reconciled to them; then come and offer your gift.
Jesus did not come to earth a politician. He came as a Teacher, proclaiming the kingdom of God. Listen to this teaching of Jesus. In a nutshell, peace before worship!
Imagine if Vineyard decides not to open its doors for services until all members resolve their conflicts with their neighbour, colleague, family and friends! Take this on a wider scale to include ALL places of worship in the whole world irregardless of race and religion! I can now hear the tune "What a wonderful world" by Louis Armstrong.
Who could have imagined today the doors are actually closed. The ball is in our court. What a wonderful friend we have in Jesus.
