While at the North American Christian Convention this week we had the unusual joy of going through the book of Revelation in all the main sessions. It was a little weird I guess for this kind of a conference and format, but it worked well.

 

There are many different views concerning this book in the Bible, however, each speaker did a real good job of handling their assigned task with depth, humor and respect. I found the messages (as a whole, although by different speakers) to be very well thought out and connected.

 

Rick Atchley, from The Hills Church of Christ, handled the difficult ground of chapters 19-20. One of my favorite lines from his message had nothing specifically to do with the book of Revelation…and then again, it had everything to do with it.

 

“It’s ok to disagree. It’s a sin to divide.”

 

While we need to have that concept firmly in tow when we discuss this stuff…I think we need it all of the time.

 

We won’t always agree. However, we do need to stand together!
