O Christians! shall Herod and Pilate put you to shame? They clapped up a peace to strengthen their hands against Christ; and will not you unite against your common enemy? It is an ill time for mariners to be fighting, when an enemy is boring a hole at the bottom of their ship.
William Gurnall, The Christian in Complete Armour

We need unity amongst brothers and sisters now more than ever. The enemy is not divided – they may have differences in their wickedness, but they’re wholly united against the kingdom of God (Matthew 12:25-26). As Christians, we may have slight variations in our denominations and practices, but we should be one regarding the gospel, as Jesus wanted us to be (John 17:21-23). We must spend our effort battling sin and Satan, not each other.
