Within the first few minutes of the battle, men were dying all around us. During the entire battle, Marshall protected my back, while I and my squad pushed forward. The losses to our entire platoon were appalling. But although Marshall and I never became close friends, we learned on the battlefield that sometimes we have to set aside personal differences in order to accomplish our job. Although a worthy enough goal, many of these attempts to avoid conflicts between coworkers have failed miserably due to nonbiblical definitions.
Christians often confuse organizational unity with spiritual unity.
Bringing missionaries together through organizational unity does not automatically lead to spiritual harmony. Too much organizational unity can be counterproductive if it keeps us from spending enough time with the unsaved. Two things are vital for spiritual harmony. First, we need to have similar goals. We hope that we all want to see people get saved.
