Jesus prayed in John 17:21, "I pray that they may all be one."

Unity. Not uniformity.

Unity is grounded in the essentials. We're united because we all confess Jesus as Lord, believe in His death and resurrection, trust in Scripture as God's Word.

But uniformity demands that everyone believe exactly the same thing on every theological question. And that's not Biblical unity. That's tribalism.

Paul says in Ephesians 4:2-3, "Be completely humble and gentle; be patient, bearing with one another in love. Make every effort to keep the unity of the Spirit through the bond of peace."

Bearing with one another. That means making space for disagreement on secondary issues.

We've made conformity the test of orthodoxy. We've confused unity with uniformity. And we've forgotten how to charitably disagree while staying committed to Scripture.

The Kirk Cameron controversy is a mirror. It's showing us that we have a unity problem.

If we can't have theological conversations without demanding repentance and blocking dissent, we've lost something essential.

Full video explores how to practice unity without sacrificing truth.
