Thank you for your all comments. How can we relate Unity with Uniformity or the reverse? And Contrust?

Any idea?

UNIFYING WITH ONE ANOTHER

"I live in Texas, the land of hot weather and fire ants. Those two things come with the territory of living in this part of our nation.
When fire ants set up shop at your home, mounds begin to appear on your lawn or near the foundation of your house. The ants build these mounds and take up residence in them on your property. They have collected themselves together and invaded your territory in order to build their little kingdom at your address. Small as they are, together they can erect impressive knolls right in the middle of your once-beautiful lawn. They are united in a common goal and empowered by it—to serve their queen.
I saw one of these ant mounds not too long ago and was reminded of the devil’s plan of attack on the family of God. He seeks to build his kingdom on God’s premises. You and I are firsthand witnesses of an ungodly belief system attacking our culture and promoting agendas that have nothing to do with heaven. These belief systems have even invaded some of our churches.
It’s amazing how much power and impact people can have when they share a common goal. In fact, a small minority of like-minded people can make big changes. Lobbyists and protesters—even in small numbers—wield great power when unified. So we must ask ourselves, is the church of Jesus Christ experiencing the unity and exerting the national influence that we should, especially considering the strength of our numbers? Sadly, the answer is often no. Even though we claim the same God and worship the same Lord, we have allowed differences in race, class, culture, preferences, priorities, platforms, and more to divide us. In doing so, we have reduced our cultural impact as the horizontal representatives of Jesus.
Jesus stated clearly, “Any kingdom divided against itself is laid waste; and any city or house divided against itself will not stand” (Matthew 12:25). This applies not only to the universal body of Christ but also to the local church’s impact on individual lives, families, marketplaces, neighborhoods, communities, and schools. Hell has sought to divide God’s kingdom to minimize His influence. Satan is the ultimate divider. He tried to split up heaven by getting one-third of the angels to join him in rebellion against God. He brought chaos into the first family when he separated Adam and Eve from God and pitted them against each other. Satan also instigated sibling hatred when he enticed the first son (Cain) to kill his brother (Abel). In fact, Satan introduced so much dissension into the world that God issued a worldwide flood.
Satan loves to divide. When he divides, he can conquer. This is because he knows something about God’s nature that you and I need to always remember.
The Bible is clear that God is one being. Yet that one being includes three coequal persons—God the Father, God the Son, and God the Spirit. The one God is unified in essence but distinct in personality, and we have come to refer to this tri-unity as the Trinity. The Father is not the Son, the Son is not the Father, and the Spirit is neither. Yet the three persons make up the one being—the Godhead. The best way I know how to illustrate it is with a pretzel that has three holes. Hole number one is not hole number two. And hole number two is not hole number three. But the one pretzel with the three holes is all tied together by the same dough. The “dough” that ties the Trinity together includes the divine nature and the attributes of Deity.
Because Satan understands the unity of God and because his goal is to keep God from being involved in your life, family, church, and culture, he crafts an agenda of division. This agenda of division is designed to keep God out of the equation. Satan knows that when people live in disunity, God backs off. So Satan makes the most of scenarios that lead to disunity. He widens the gaps between people by inflating their differences and promoting their personal agendas.
Little disagreements can turn into complete standoffs in homes, friendships, workplaces, and churches. Small misunderstandings can disrupt the unity of two people or entire groups. When people jump to conclusions and allow their emotions to flare up, healthy communication ends and heated arguments begin.

Unique in Unity
As a reminder, we have been looking at the “one anothers” found in Scripture and learning how to be the hands and feet of Jesus to each other. We have seen that the full manifestation and experience of our vertical relationship with God hinges, to a large degree, on our horizontal relationships with one another. So when the horizontal hinge is broken and the “one anothers” are not fully in place in our lives, we limit our experience of our vertical relationship with God.
This chapter’s emphasis is on maintaining our unity with one another. What is unity? It is based on the very nature of God. Unity is not uniformity; unity is oneness of purpose. Unity is what we see when unique individuals join hands and move in a common direction. For example, an orchestra is unified not because all the instruments are the same, but because the different instruments are playing the same song. They are using their unique sounds to create beautiful harmonic textures. Another example I like to use is that of a football team. A football team isn’t unified because all the positions are the same. It’s unified because all the different positions are working toward a common goal. Unity requires uniqueness. To experience unity is to embrace uniqueness and welcome differences as people march together toward a common purpose.
You and I should never try to squeeze people into our mold. Scripture does not instruct us to conform to one another. Rather, we are to come together as one—with all our differences—for a common purpose.

Now may the God who gives perseverance and encouragement grant you to be of the same mind with one another according to Christ Jesus, so that with one accord you may with one voice glorify the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ (Romans 15:5-6).

Notice the phrases “same mind,” “one accord,” and “one voice.” The definition of unity is oneness of purpose, not sameness of being. Like a quilt with various colors and patterns that have been blended together into a harmonious whole, a church in unity celebrates each person’s unique place in the divine design.
Not only that, but unity is absolutely critical for the deepest experience of God in our lives.
Unity is so essential that Paul urges us, “Keep your eye on those who cause dissensions and hindrances contrary to the teaching which you learned, and turn away from them” (Romans 16:17). He tells us to look out for people who disrupt the unity in our lives, homes, and churches because Satan is using them to keep God out of the situation. This is never clearer than in 1 Peter 3:7: “You husbands in the same way, live with your wives in an understanding way, as with someone weaker, since she is a woman; and show her honor as a fellow heir of the grace of life, so that your prayers will not be hindered.”
Friend, if a husband’s prayer is hindered when the husband and wife are not living in unity, then what do you think Satan’s goal is? Satan’s goal is to bring about disunity in marriages, homes, churches, communities, and nations. Satan seeks to keep us fighting so that our prayers to God do not bring the same results they bring when our vertical relationship with God is unencumbered.
Unity is no small issue at all. To a large degree, unity affects whether God shows up or keeps His distance. God is one—He is the personification of unity—so we’re not likely to experience Him if we’re living in disunity.

How Do We Have Unity?
Paul makes a very clear point in his letter to the church at Ephesus on this topic of unity when he says that we are to be “diligent to preserve the unity of the Spirit in the bond of peace” (Ephesians 4:3). Some translations say that we are to “make every effort” to preserve the unity of the Spirit. The Greek word translated “bond” in Ephesians 4:3 is sometimes translated “belt.” Essentially, we are told to let peace bind us together (like a belt wrapped around us) and preserve our unity.
The basis of our unity is the Holy Spirit, so unless the Holy Spirit is free to rule in our lives, we cannot preserve or maintain our unity. When we sin against each other—by judging, being selfish, creating division, or the like—our relationship with the Spirit is hindered, and the unity of the Spirit suffers as well.
Keep in mind that we are not called to create unity but rather to preserve it. We don’t need to invent it—we just need to live in it. Unity with each other comes by God’s Spirit living in us. When our horizontal relationships with each other are in order, we experience the vertical flow of the Spirit in our lives, and unity is the result.
One of the best ways we can go about maintaining our unity is to base our thoughts and decisions on the Word of God. When we use His standard as our governing rule and His kingdom agenda as our overarching goal, our differences fade into the background. Unfortunately, though, too many of us align ourselves with preachers, politicians, or platforms more than we do with God’s Word. We evaluate things based on a human viewpoint rather than God’s viewpoint. This is not a new phenomenon. In fact, Paul faced the same issues in his day.

Now I exhort you, brethren, by the name of our Lord Jesus Christ, that you all agree and that there be no divisions among you, but that you be made complete in the same mind and in the same judgment. For I have been informed concerning you, my brethren, by Chloe’s people, that there are quarrels among you. Now I mean this, that each one of you is saying, “I am of Paul,” and “I of Apollos,” and “I of Cephas,” and “I of Christ.” Has Christ been divided? Paul was not crucified for you, was he? Or were you baptized in the name of Paul? I thank God that I baptized none of you except Crispus and Gaius, so that no one would say you were baptized in my name (1 Corinthians 1:10-15).

If we want our Lord to show up with His powerful presence in the body of Christ, in our communities, and in our nation, one of the first things we need to realize is that Christ did not die for a denomination—He died for each one of us. Yes, preferences and platforms exist. However, we would be far more effective in influencing families, communities, and our culture with God’s kingdom principles based on His Word if we focused on our common purpose. Consider the impact we could have if we linked platform with platform, denomination with denomination, and church with church at those strategic times when a collective impact is needed the most.
Paul resisted disunity in the church because he knew the power of unity. He was surely familiar with Christ’s words…

If two of you agree on earth about anything that they may ask, it shall be done for them by My Father who is in heaven. For where two or three are gathered together in My name, I am there in their midst (Matthew 18:19-20).

Paul also resisted disunity on the basis of race. When 11:00 on Sunday morning is still the most segregated hour in America, we in the body of Christ have a long way to go toward living out biblical unity.

Restoring Unity
Scripture shows us how to quickly fix the problem of disunity based on race, culture, ethnicity, and class. The key is to deal with it as a spiritual and theological issue rather than merely a social and political issue. Notice the way Paul responded to division in Galatians 2. This is the well-known incident in which Peter decided that it was okay to hang out with Gentile believers—that is, until the boys from his Jewish “hood” showed up.
After the Lord warned Peter against showing partiality (Acts 10:34), Peter put his new understanding into practice by crossing the railroad tracks and relating to people of a different race and a different culture. In fact, he got into this so much that he started eating with Gentile believers in Antioch. But that’s exactly where the problem developed. Some of Peter’s friends from the Jewish part of town in Jerusalem came down to Antioch. When they showed up, “he began to withdraw and hold himself aloof” from his Gentile brothers and sisters (Galatians 2:12).
Why did Peter do this? Evidently the Jews said something like this: “Peter, what are you doing here eating with Gentiles? Don’t you know we Jews don’t do that? It’s against the guidelines of our race. We’ll all get together in heaven, but on earth we don’t have that kind of social relationship with Gentiles.” So Peter stopped having fellowship with the Gentiles because he feared what his Jewish brethren would say.
That’s when it got really bad. “The rest of the Jews joined him in hypocrisy, with the result that even Barnabas was carried away by their hypocrisy” (verse 13). When Peter pushed his chair back from the table and left, so did the other Jews who had previously joined him. In fact, even Barnabas got caught up in it. Barnabas was raised in Cyprus, a Gentile colony. He was raised with Gentiles, went to school with Gentiles, and played with Gentiles. But that’s how bad racial divides really are. They can make good people act badly. So Barnabas followed Peter out the door.
There was only one problem—Paul saw what happened. Paul was equally committed to his Jewish history, culture, and people, yet he publicly excoriated Peter’s non-Christian action, saying that Peter was “not straightforward about the truth of the gospel” (verse 14). The key point is truth. An objective standard transcended Peter’s cultural commitment.
As we apply this example to our lives, remember that even Peter—an apostle and one of Jesus’s three closest friends—was not allowed to tamper with the unity of the Spirit. No one has an excuse for placing culture above Christ, or race above righteousness. God’s standard still stands, and cultural preferences are never to hinder Christians from conforming to that standard. Scripture alone is the final authority by which racial relationships are determined.
Paul did what he needed to do. He didn’t hold a meeting. He didn’t conduct a sensitivity seminar. He didn’t say, “Hey, can’t we all just get along?” Nor did he offer Peter a ten-week Bible study. Paul said, “Peter, you are messing with the gospel. Stop it!” Having caved to racial pressure and the prejudice of his fellow Jews, Peter had failed the test of truth. He had left the Gentiles in order to not offend the Jews. In deference to the cultural pressure of his own race, he discredited the message of the gospel that God had so graphically conveyed to him in the home of Cornelius—a Gentile.
What is the kingdom solution to divisions in the body of Christ along class, cultural, racial, and denominational lines? Be committed to the truth. Paul said that Peter and the other Jewish believers got into trouble because they left the truth they knew, which was that in Christ “there is neither Jew nor Greek” (Galatians 3:28). They left the truth, and that’s our problem today. We need more people who are willing to speak and stand for the truth. Peter was the leader of the disciples. If the leader is not willing to live out the truth, how can we expect the followers to follow the truth?
This hits us who teach the truth of God from the pulpit. A mist in the pulpit becomes a fog in the pew. Racial division has continued in this country because too many pulpits have been too quiet too long. Too many pulpits have been divided too long. Too many pulpits have sought their own individual platforms at the expense of the unity of the Spirit in the body of Christ."
