Unity in What?

" For we did not follow cleverly devised myths when we made known to you the power and coming of our Lord Jesus Christ, but we had been eyewitnesses of his majesty. For he received honor and glory from God the Father when that voice was conveyed to him by the Majestic Glory, saying, "This is my Son, my Beloved, with whom I am well pleased."" (2 Peter 1:16-17, NRSV)

What has authority in our life? That is really the question in this postmodern world? Personal experiences are the sole basis for authority in this world. Stories and history are rewritten to accomadate personal experiences and truth. Facts and logic are sidelined as interested but not authoratativie.

The church has gone down this words as well, particularly the PC(USA), long ago we compromised the authority of the Word of God, for the experiences and interpretations of man. In increasing fashion we are experiencing the the outcome of such a decision.

We talk about Unity in our denomination, but what are we unifed about? People say Jesus, but that isn't true, because we debate about who Jesus is and how we know him. We are not unified in our view scripture? So I ask the quest, "What are we unified in?"
