Say No To Factions - Friday Praise & Pray (for others) October 24, 2025
It is normal for people to gather in groups. Look at God, for instance. He isn't alone. He has Jesus, the Holy Spirit, and all the heavenly host with Him. He made it a point of not letting Adam be alone and created Eve to be his companion. However, while indeed "it is not good that man be alone," how Christians gather is important to the Lord (Genesis 2:18). He doesn't want them dividing into groups that are opposed to other believers. He doesn't want them sequestering into camps where people feel they are better than other believers. He wants His children to beware of joining factions.
Paul warned about factions in his letter to the Corinthian Church. He noted that divisive groups had formed, and they quarreled about who they identified with in the faith. 1 Corinthians 1:12 - What I mean is this: One of you says, “I follow…
ALTAR CALL
If you have yet to give your life to Christ, don't let this moment go by without doing so. And if you've backslidden and are living as you like instead of how God wants you to, now is the time to recommit.
It is time to repent and return to the Lord. It is time to commit yourself to living by His word and submit to having Jesus as your Lord and Savior.
Look, the video below will do a better job explaining things than I can, and it's only 8 minutes long. Yup, there are no cliff notes, sorry. Please just watch. I promise you, it's worth it.
If you watched the video to the end and said the prayer at the end, then welcome to being a child of God! You are now a born-again Christian! I pray you receive the Holy Spirit and are led in the ways of the Lord. Send me a message letting me know you said the prayer. I'll send you more materials so you can grow as a new creature, washed clean and restored.
Regardless, please make prayer a regular part of your life. Prayer is simply you talking to the Lord. Also, please start reading the Bible and ask God to make it come alive for you. It holds all the answers you need. You can start by reading the Epistle of John, the Book of Acts, and the Book of Romans. Get water baptized as quickly as you can and ask God to lead you to a church of His choosing.
Congrats and God bless you!
