What Is the Greatest Problem Facing the Church Today?
The greatest problem facing the church is lack of unity.
When Jesus Christ was getting ready to leave this earth, He prayed for His disciples and asked especially that they would be united (see John 17:20-21).
He said that whenever His followers acted in unity, the world would know that the Father had sent Him (see John 17:23).
However, it is extremely difficult in this world to achieve the kind of unity, love, and concern for one another that Jesus Christ shared with His disciples.
Unity begins to break down when man's selfishness enters the picture.
For unity we have to have mutual respect and a mutual willingness to give and to surrender, not to the other person so much, but to Jesus.
We can truly have unity when we all want God's will to be done.
We are only as strong as we are united, as weak as we are divided.
One love, one heart . . .
Let’s get together and feel all right
