Diverse City

Last Saturday the gang and I headed up to Cleveland to catch an Indians game and jam out with the Newsboys (who's new front man is Michael Tait of DC Talk). while the game was really cold and uneventful the concert proved differently.

Although the concert wasn't very long, I really enjoyed watching the Q fill up with Christians from all over Cleveland. So often I feel like our city is spiritually dry. Like we are a dried up mud pit, dirty, cracked, and broken. It was so refreshing to be surrounded by other brothers and sisters under the umbrella of Jesus, where denomination, race, age, or gender didn't matter. Just a whole ton of people, blacks, whites, Indians, old men, little girls, teenagers, poor, and rich, got together to worship Jesus.

It reminded me how important unity is within the Body of Christ.

"May the God who gives endurance and encouragement give you a spirit of unity among yourselves as you follow Christ Jesus" Romans 15:5
