Just a quick thought... Due to the focus on sharing the gospel through JH, our church is experiencing a great unity as we work together to fulfill the purpose to which God called us. A church that is focused on its mission and is busy trying to fulfill it, doesn't have time to get distracted and focus on things that don't matter. In the churches that are growing, I'm assuming they are united in purpose and lives are being changed through salvation, baptism, and discipleship. In those that are infighting and struggling, I would bet that there is division and they rarely (if ever) see people saved, baptized, or discipled.
What a great lesson Jesus taught us at 12 years old... We (the Church) must be busy about the Father's business, they we wouldn't have time to fight over non-essentials.
