For he himself is our peace, who has made the two one and has destroyed the barrier, the dividing wall of hostility, by abolishing in his flesh the law with its commandments and regulations. His purpose was to create in himself one new man out of the two, thus mailing peace, and in this one body to reconcile both of them to God through the cross, by which he put to death their hostility.
The Case
Several who recently joined the church brought with them their guitars and love of contemporary Christian music and praise choruses. Even though the congregation was a traditional, hymn-singing group, the newer members wanted to use their gifts for the Lord during the Sunday morning service.
When the idea was brought up to the board, opinions were divided.
