United Or Untied?
Categories: Church of Christ Bulletin Articles, uncategorizedThe following article by an unknown author, gives us something to think about as we look at the Lord’s church today:
In proof reading an article for a religious paper, a fellow gospel preacher noted the following error. The sentence read:
“The church was untied.”
It should have read:
“The church was united.”
What a difference between the words! Untied suggests separation — the opposite of unity! But the startling truth which impressed the preacher was this: the entire difference was because the letter “i” was out of place.
The lesson is vivid — if “I” am out of place in the church program, then “I” am helping make the church “untied” — not united.
Each member of the Lord’s church is an “I.” If all the “I’s” are united, we will not be untied.
