The One Tuning Fork

My pastor-husband preached a couple weeks ago about harmony or unity or one of those community type words. The example he gave still sticks in my mind.

If one tuning fork, one, tuned ten different pianos in a room, all the pianos would also be tuned to one another – because they are all in tune with the one fork. Can you picture it?

So, doesn’t it stand to reason that if each church member, individually, was focused solely on Christ and walking with Christ and being with Christ – that the whole group would also be in step with one another…

Maybe we’ve been “attacking the problem” of division in the church (or anywhere) from the wrong direction. Instead of trying to change everybody, let’s all agree to work on our own relationship with the One. Let’s all take one step closer to the Lord.

I Corinthians 1:9-10 starts off with:

“Heavenly Father, You have called us into fellowship with Your Son Jesus…” (that would be the One)

Then what follows is:

“therefore, help us…. that we may be perfectly joined together in the same mind and in the same judgements.”

My human mind says it sounds kinda hopeless / impossible. But these are God’s Words, preserved and still standing all this time.

So what about you? Will you draw closer to the Lord today? And encourage others to do the same? If we all chose to do this, would it change our neighborhood, our churches, our world?
