! Looking For Unity – 11
!! *Out-of-Balance or Out-of-Bounds – 01*
In this *Age of Fallenness*, nearly everything is out-of-balance until it is brought to equilibrium through the redemptive power of Jesus Christ.
Church History is too often the story of unbalanced responses to /existential/ imbalance – an overreaction against that which does not fit our too parochial narrative of orthodoxy.
The categories of Orthodoxy and Heterodoxy are Scriptural and critical; but our skill in separating that which is */Out-of-Balance/* from that which is */Out-of-Bounds/* may need to be refined.
Had Aquilla and Priscilla placed Apollos in the category of Out-of-Bounds because he only knew the baptism of John, they would have lost the opportunity to bring Apollos into balance by explaining the way of the Lord more perfectly (*Acts 18:24-28*).
Unnecessary division would have occurred, and the Churches of Christ would have lost the enriching ministry of a man mighty in the Scriptures but still lacking balance.
As it turned out, unity prevailed, Apollos evened out and “greatly helped those who believed through grace.”
(*Acts 18:27 NKJV*)
In Greek, that is known as a “win-win”!
