I listened to his message and it was a call to unity.
It reminds me of an odd story though.
There once was an women who joined an independent Apostolic church which did not fellowship with the local UPC because they were too liberal. Eventually this woman's independent pastor stopped preaching holiness standards and also began to believe that people are saved at repentance. over time, most of the people left and either went to the UPC church or the Charismatic church, both of which had a great music and youth program.
Years passed and this woman became part of a group from the UPC church to start a church in the city in which she lived. At the same time, another UPC church also started a daughter work in this woman's city. These two churches were cordial but not really friendly with each other.
Years passed and the church that the woman came to her city with to start a daughter work left the city, so she began attending the remaining daughter work church.
So what is the moral of the story? be nice cause you don't know where you are going to end up.
