Every trial lawyer worth his or her salt is intimately familiar with a legal volume entitled Rules of Civil Procedure. It is a courtroom bible of sorts that spells out how pleadings and proceedings are to be conducted. And every lawyer knows about Rule 11, which says, in essence, that lawsuits must be brought in good faith. Arguments may not be presented which are “frivolous” or brought for “any improper purpose such as to harass, cause unnecessary delay, or needlessly increase the cost of litigation.”

There is one body and one spirit.

Ephesians 4:4

Wouldn‘t it be nice if Christians also would commit to avoiding frivolous arguments? For God’s will and purposes to be fulfilled in America over the coming year, followers of Christ must set aside non-essential disagreements and focus on the enemy at hand. The apostle Paul was no doubt thinking of infighting among believers when he reminded the church at Ephesus that there is “one body and one spirit.”

As you pray today, ask God to help those who call Him Lord to set aside petty spats and get on the same page. If Christians stand together with one voice in 2015 for biblical truth and values, the impact on Congress, the White House and the nation will be overwhelming!
