United Before God!
Unity has become the end-game, the objective of Christian living; but the foundation and purpose of unity has been lost. In the history of Israel, the 9 1/2 tribes on the west side of the Jordan are about to confront the 2 1/2 tribes on the east side of the Jordan. The steps that they took in the confrontation is a great road map to see that confrontation is a necessary step of unity - but only when confrontation is completed correctly.
