Dissension by Bro Eddie Thompson; from his daily bread 02/15/2007

As long as there is dissension in a church, the enemy can disrupt any progress that is made. In fact, I've watched the enemy sit back and allow some perceived progress take place, bide his time until it seems there is about to be a breakthrough, then let some root of bitterness or some unresolved issue explode suddenly to shut down any move of God that a congregation was experiencing. The tragedy is that many will keep shoving the problem aside in the hopes that it will all just go away: And it never does. It's an arrow in the quiver of the enemy. It's an army of potential opposition, hidden within a Trojan horse right inside the camp, waiting for an inconvenient moment. We need to forgive. We need to repent of sin. We need to set things right with our brother/sister. We need to remember to pray. We need to be obedient in all things. Then we need to boldly go forth in the Name of our Champion: Jesus Christ!
