Why are we not one? Sin is the great dividing element. The perfectly holy would be perfectly united. The more saintly men are, the more they love their Lord and one another; and thus they come into closer union with each other. Our errors and our sins are roots of bitterness which spring up and trouble us, and many are defiled. Our infirmities of judgment are aggravated by our imperfections of character, and our walking at a distance from our God; and these breed coldness and lukewarmness, out of which grow disunion and division, sects and heresies.

It's Not About Me
- Keith Cox
- I am currently EM Pastor at Rock Presbyterian Church in San Diego. I write here in the hope of somehow in a small way shining the light of Christ, doing a small thing to fulfill Christ's command to make disciples of all nations (Mt. 28:19-20), keeping in mind Mother Teresa's admonition that we are not called to do great things, but to do small things with great love.
