Here's A Crazy Idea

Therefore, accept each other just as Christ has accepted you so that God will be given glory.
Romans 15:7 
 
What's the craziest idea you've ever had?  When I first became aware that God has called me to ministry, I had this crazy idea that churches were filled with nice, caring, loving people who got along and wanted to show the world God's love because they had found the secret of loving each other.  As I grew older, I found out that my crazy idea was just that.....CRAZY.  
 
But here's a REALLY crazy idea: What if, for just ONE Sunday, churches got rid of all denominational differences and labels and symbols and just listed themselves as: CHURCH,  AND everyone in the CHURCH actually learned to accept each other as God's children?  How crazy would that be?
 
Let's face it, Christ accepts each of us, (weird though we may be, different though we may be, unique though we may be) and joins us in ONE Family to the glory of God!  Since Christ accepts us, who are we to not do the same?
