Websites and Relationships: Interconnecting Humanity

Days as of late have been full with building new friendships, launching a website or two (This one is still a work in progress) and learning about the dynamics of relationships between Christians. Despite the Biblical injunction to love one another as Christ loved the Church its disconcerting to come across one Christian suggesting that He has zero respect for a fellow believer, because of a lack of committal to a certain project or charitable outreach.

Global Christian is an attempt to show that we as Christians have more in common that denominations and branches of Christianity would ordinarily suggest.  It does not seem to matter if we live in the 21st century or the first century controversy seems to break out,

Some men came down from Judea to Antioch and were teaching the brothers: “Unless you are circumcised, according to the custom taught by Moses, you cannot be saved.” 2This brought Paul and Barnabas into sharp dispute and debate with them. Acts 15:1-2a NIV

due to our own humanity and sinful nature. The question, is what do we allow sever relationships and what tests will we endure and triumph through knowing that it will build character and personality.

they gathered the church together and delivered the letter. The people read it and were glad for its encouraging message. Judas and Silas, who themselves were prophets, said much to encourage and strengthen the brothers. Acts 15:30-32 NIV

Sometimes relationships are impossible to reconcile, but at the same time make sure its over something that matters. This life is preparation for eternity. Do you really want to spend eternity with that brother you maligned down here on earth?
