As you know I love the monthly Upper Room gatherings we have in our home. We can very easily get drawn down that “good tree/bad tree” – knowledge of good and evil route – trying to decide which denomination is “closest to God’s ideal” and then picking out the bits that aren’t.
One of our number pulled us up short. She said that for her all the different denominations are like the different art styles [she is an artist]. None of them are wrong but some of them we prefer more than others, some suit us more than others.
I also know of people who have to create in a certain way because they need to make money. It is not their chosen style but they go with and hang out with it because, for that moment, it is helpful to them to progress in their field.
I think lots of us have hung out in different denominations that haven’t really suited us but that moved us onwards and closer to who God created us to be.
So we need to always remember that different doesn’t mean wrong. Let’s stop judging and start eating from the Tree of Life.
