[notice]PETE GOOCH coordinator of the Burn 24/7 prayer and worship movement in PE loves the unity that is expressed as believers from different churches gather to worship the King. He explains.[/notice]
Why did Jesus pray for unity in John 17?
Because He knew there would be division among us as believers ?

Many if not most of us find ourselves brought up in different churches due to decisions our forefathers made. Like apartheid many of these decisions were made out of pride and arrogance by people or leaders with no true surrender to an Almighty God. Jesus is the ultimate truth! Not our minor opinions that separate us.
I understand there are geographical reasons for having churches. but as the scars of apartheid heal and our kids play in the streets with no concept of that a colour means we are inferior, how much more so should our dividing beliefs fall like the wall of Jericho?
One of the main reasons I love BURN is this fact.
