As One

Jesus' words in John 17:20-24 are a strong reminder for all Christians of what He was concerned about as Jesus looked to the future of His Church. He prayed for us to be one. Yet in our world today, we see a Church divided and a people who often spend more time tearing each other down than living as one body. The argument posed within the pages of this book is that our current divided state is not what Jesus originally intended. That to truly become the Church Jesus prayed for, we must find ways to become more united in Christ. Our enemy loves to keep us divided because he knows we are stronger together. The hope contained in the pages of this book is that you will become inspired to seek ways to bring churches and believers together and that each of us will look for opportunities to reconcile with one another and that churches will seek cooperation instead of competition. This book is the result of a 30-year passion to see the Church become more united. It comes from the perspective of a man who did not grow up in the church, who came to Christ later in life, who served as a pastor, and is a retired Air Force Lieutenant Colonel whose own prayer, as was Christ's, is for the church to be As One!
