Clip · Division Part 1
Should church be as consistent as a Big Mac?
Should church be as consistent as a Big Mac? Paul urged believers to speak the same thing, with no divisions among them.
Key Takeaway
A Big Mac is identical everywhere; Paul says believers should speak the same thing, so the Holy Ghost, salvation and holy living should be preached the same in every church.
Key Scripture
1 Corinthians 1:10 — “Now I plead with you, brethren, by the name of our Lord Jesus Christ, that you all speak the same thing, and that there be no divisions among you, but that you be perfectly joined together in the same mind and in the same judgment.”
1 Corinthians 1:10 says, “that you all speak the same thing, and that there be no divisions among you.” Pastor David G. Kincer notes that a Big Mac is the same in Brazil, Korea, China and every state, and asks why the Holy Ghost, salvation and holy living aren’t preached the same in every church.
Now I plead with you, brethren, by the name of our Lord Jesus Christ, that you all speak the same thing, and that there be no divisions among you, but that you be perfectly joined together in the same mind and in the same judgment.— 1 Corinthians 1:10 (NKJV)
Scripture
1 Corinthians 1:10 (NKJV) — “Now I plead with you, brethren, by the name of our Lord Jesus Christ, that you all speak the same thing, and that there be no divisions among you, but that you be perfectly joined together in the same mind and in the same judgment.”
Plain language: let God’s Word unite us, keep Christ at the center, and live out the same truth together.
Short transcript
Paul says, “I want you all to speak the same thing” (1 Corinthians 1:10). Pastor Kincer says that in Brazil, Korea, China or any state in America, a Big Mac is identical, the fries are the same, and the Coke is the real Coke. The Holy Ghost, salvation, righteousness and holy living should be preached the same way in every church, but in America they aren’t, and it confuses everybody.
