Stand Up For Truth

Recently a friend of mine encountered someone that wanted him to water down what he believed. The person wanted my friend to go with what the crowd believed. It does bring up a good question. In this situation, both of these people are believers. What does scripture say when there is a disagreement among believers?

Psalms 133
A Song of degrees of David.
1 Behold, how good and how pleasant it is for brethren to dwell together in unity!
2 It is like the precious ointment upon the head, that ran down upon the beard, even Aaron’s beard: that went down to the skirts of his garments;
3 As the dew of Hermon, and as the dew that descended upon the mountains of Zion: for there the Lord commanded the blessing, even life for evermore.

How should my friend resolve this issue? Uncertain. It is important for sure. But is it more important than unity? What should the unity be about? Here are the challenges that he faces, and I suggest, we all face. We must be true to our Father Yahuah (Lord). We must be true to the truth.

Prayer
Father, we exalt You. You alone are King! We praise the name Yahuah! Help us find the way to bring the kingdom to this earth, just as it is in the heavens. Send us now Your overwhelming provision. Forgive us our sins. Heal us and deliver us. We need you desperately. Help us find unity. Help us find You. Restore unto Your people truth, that the kingdom might go forth. We ask all these things in the name of our Messiah Yeshuah (Jesus). Amen.
