How clearly The Message puts it. Despite perhaps denominational differences, all who follow Christ are ultimately called to work together under one banner -- the banner of God.
It may seem silly to make a business analogy here but, several years ago, a number of us in our industry, got together and realized that, even though the products we manufacture may be very similar, we are not each other's competition. Our competition, jointly, is all of the products out there that are very different from ours which, at that time, commanded about 98% of a huge marketplace. Now, after several years of working together under a common banner, all of us are stronger and we have about an 8% marketshare instead of 2%.
What would it look like in your community if all those who are doing good work -- regardless of what particular "brand" they are -- came together, linked arms, and joined efforts? Would not more be accomplished? More for the Kingdom?
