I do think though that Unity is not about agreeing with one another, or everybody having the same opinion. I believe its a group of people that all want the same thing that love each other enough that they will agree to differ.
As Christians no matter what our opinions we should all want the same thing - that Jesus be Lord of our lives and the lives of those we meet. We should all want God's Kingdom to rule in this world and so our goal should be bringing the Kingdom into the lives of the lost. That is true unity.
The problem is that in a room full of people there are as many opinions are there are people, and so when there is a disagreement people start to think that there is no unity. We have unity in Christ, and through that unity in Him we need to give one another the grace to bare with them and allow them to have their opinion, even if it means that you agree to disagree.
Let's be united under one banner, the banner of Heaven. Let's make sure that Jesus is Lord of our lives and our opinions and allow one another to be who we are all called to be in His name. Let's cherish our differences and Praise God for the fact that even though we are different we serve the same God.
