Reflecting on 40 years of marriage, I’ve learned that true unity begins at home—your relationships will only rise as high as your conflict resolution skills. In John 17, Jesus prayed for His followers’ joy to be 'complete,' a joy that flows from Christ-centered unity. Too often, churches and families short-circuit this joy by worldly compromise or pride, like the 'maggots' I found working at a restaurant—hidden filth that ruins the whole. Real unity demands conversion: when we grasp what it cost Jesus to forever bear humanity’s scars, our marriages, churches, and witness transform. Leaders must listen, members must mature, and all must reject the 'pecking order' mentality. As Ellen White warned, marriage should deepen love, not bury it—and the same applies to Christ’s family. Are you a fountain of His joy or a drain? Unity isn’t optional; it’s heaven’s prerequisite.
