I once heard a pastor say, “You pray some into the church and you pray some out.” What do you think?
Would you take a moment to pray for churches today that are at the brink of a split? Pray for redemptive love mutual submission, and forgiveness to invade those houses of worship.
The only caution for praying in and out is the nature of the flesh. A pastor should be doing it for the right reasons, but many pray someone “out” just because they don’t like the person or have some ax to grind with them.
I always have taken the advise of scripture…be careful pulling weeds, because you can pull up some plants with it. God will take care of the weeds or make them a new creation in Him. Great thought provoking post.

A church split only happens when we have unforgiveness in of the parties and also control issues.
