Mark 3

"If a kingdom is divided against itself, that kingdom cannot stand. If a house is divided against itself, the house will not be able to stand." v. 24-25

True words. It is the weakest link theory. I've noticed at my work that when new management came in, the number one way they chose to receive power was by bringing discord amongst employees - pitting each of us against another. We lost morale and then a huge turn over took place. Friends who let gossip about one another get in will not remain friends, or at least, lose trust. We have to stand up for each other. Husband and wife teams. Brothers and sisters.

I was thinking, there is another side to this. An alcoholic family or a family that is involved with child/spousal abuse can continue those evils unless someone talks. As soon as someone speaks out about the abuse help can get in, and the evil house is brought down. But those with something to hide tend to be strong in keeping it quiet.

Where love is there will be no division. Discussion yes, but no dissension.
