My whipped iced dairy drink brings the attentions of many males to my place of residence and/or employment, and they declare that its quality far surpasses that of yours. Absolutely, it far surpasses yours. I could convey to you the proverbial recipe, but I would have to demand compensation. - LOL, BEST BOOK I've purchased since the Bible

The Power of Unity
Genesis 11
Usually when the Tower of Babel is referenced, it's mentioned in a negative tone. The reason, is because of the stupid motives that drove the people to build this tower. An ambition to be God like in some form or fashion which has plagued the creation since Eden. The peoples motives where wrong. Yet there is a nugget of wisdom that the body of Christ can take from this situation. The scripture says, that God saw what they were attempting to do and,
“Look!” he said. “The people are united, and they all speak the same language. After this, nothing they set out to do will be impossible for them! (Gen. 11:6)
God said because of their unity, nothing they set out to do will be impossible for them. The modern day church is suppose to be a body. However, we are at best handicapped because the limbs or various parts are off doing their own thing. Another way of looking at it is like an orchestra. There are trumpets, clarinets, saxophones, French horns, violins, flutes, percussion a wide array of instruments. The problem is each section is apparently playing a different song. So instead of beautiful music, you get a bunch of noise and racket that's not appealing to listen to at all. Our goal should be to advance the kingdom of God. Not our church, not our denomination, not our doctrine. It's just Jesus. If we ever decide to unify as one body, all parts being led by the head, not to sound cliche', but we can literally change the world.

Gotta Be More To It
There has got to be more to Christianity than simply trying to fight our desires of the flesh so we can go to heaven.

Mourning 2 Laughing
Bad situations don't have to make us bitter-they can make us better! God can use the good, the bad, the happy, the sad to mould us into the people He wants us to be. Our goal should be to focus not on what man does to us but what God will do through us. Rest assured, what man may intend for evil, God will use for good.
