Unity is a simple concept and if exercised in the right places can be very powerful. Imagine the power of a church where all the members are unified. If all the members of that church are in a oneness of mind and in harmony. There wouldn’t be any critics or complaining within that church. Everyone working together on one goal to spread the good news of Jesus Christ! That would be an awesome thing to be apart of and see happen.
