This is a far cry from what our Lord desired when He said the world would know us…” quote by John MacArthur

“Not only are individual churches very often divided, cantankerous, full of factions, animosity and anger but it seems to me that the entire evangelical church is like that - fragmented, split up, hostile, even angry. This is a far cry from what our Lord desired when He said the world would know us by our love.”
