Daily Scripture Reading: Romans 16
25 Now to him who is able to strengthen you according to my gospel and the preaching of Jesus Christ, according to the revelation of the mystery that was kept secret for long ages 26 but has now been disclosed and through the prophetic writings has been made known to all nations, according to the command of the eternal God, to bring about the obedience of faith— 27 to the only wise God be glory forevermore through Jesus Christ! Amen.
Devision is sometimes necesary. There are doctrinal and theological hills worth dying over. But just as there are core doctrines of the Christian faith that are simply undebatable, we must also recognize that not every doctrine is presented in the bible with the same clarity and importance. When we come accross those who sew division over minor issues or even personal preferance, we are warned to avoid them at all costs. This passage has special importance for those in church leadership.
