to disagree

To agree to disagree is a wonderful thing.  To be able to say to a person, we don't agree, but I still love you and it won't come between us, that is a delightful gift.

In some churches, everyone is expected to agree.  Everyone must see it the same way, if you don't, then you are guilted and run out on a rail.  At Woods Chapel, you don't have to agree with the Pastor, or anyone else for that matter, to be a part of our fellowship.

John Wesley said, "on the essentials, let us agree, but on everything else, let us think and let think."  The kingdom of God is a big place with lots of different kinds of people in it.  Not all of them agree on everything, but they all love God and are glad to be in his family. 

It's a beautiful day in God's world, be sure to see the good.
