1 Corinthians 1:11-13 (NKJV) 11 For it has been declared to me concerning you, my brethren, by those of Chloe\u2019s household, that there are contentions among you. 12 Now I say this, that each of you says, \u201cI am of Paul,\u201d or \u201cI am of Apollos,\u201d or \u201cI am of Cephas,\u201d or \u201cI am of Christ.\u201d 13 Is Christ divided? Was Paul crucified for you? Or were you baptized in the name of Paul?<\/p>\n

These verses bring to mind one word; factions.<\/p>\n

Factions is defined as small, organized dissenting groups within a larger group.<\/p>\n

Factions within the church are not of God. They are not Biblical, and they are not Christlike.<\/p>\n

To be clear, factions are not the cause of the division. Division causes the creation of factions.<\/p>\n

The church is full of factions that are thriving.<\/p>\n

You may ask, \u201chow so?\u201d.<\/p>\n

Let\u2019s take a look at just a few of the things that cause division, leading to various factions within\u00a0the body of Christ.<\/p>\n

    \n
  1. Denominations.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    Denominations are not Biblical or of God. They are manmade.<\/p>\n

    Denominations divide the body of Christ based on differences in overall interpretations of scripture, or because of differences in beliefs that sum up their opinions on what scripture says.<\/p>\n

    Some of these are minor. Others are very major. We will not cover the actual differences here, but suffice it to say that this is a very big deal.<\/p>\n

      \n
    1. Personal opinions or preferences.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

      Personal opinions or preferences can cause great divisions between individual members of the body of Christ. And those divisions can spill over into localized bodies of believers, creating a larger overall divide.<\/p>\n

      Let\u2019s talk more about factions tomorrow, and we will wrap this up then.<\/p>\n
