Together

Another Catalyst Conference is in the books. A crowd of 12,400 church leaders (staff and volunteer) attended the ‘Catalyst Together’ session.

The focus was on building God’s Kingdom and leadership.

The speakers included authors, church planters, pastors, researchers, entertainers and leadership experts all extolling the virtues of working together even though we have differences due to denominations, age, skin color, political affiliation, etc.

One of the principles I remember from studying history was that of ‘divide and conquer’. If an organization can be divided it becomes weaker and it can be conquered because either it is fighting itself or can not maintain communication between the parts and is ineffective.

The Bible states: ‘Though one may be overpowered, two can defend themselves. A cord of three strands is not quickly broken’. Ecclesiastes 4:12

As with most things in life, we have a choice. Let’s choose to be united with God and each other.
