Bank Mergers and What It Should Say To The Church

It has become increasingly more the norm and a survival decision that banks, investment firms, insurance companies and corporate entities in general are finding it necessary to merge in order to survive. I am probably the most surprised with the need for Wachovia Bank to find partnership simply to stay alive, knowing its historical significance and practices have always been on the conservative side. Though Wells Fargo has bought them out the CEO of Wells stated this is more a merger than a buyout.

Well, everyone seems to be able to discern the significance of this need but the church of God. Please hear me out, don't shut me down until I make my claim. I am not necessarily talking about the dissolution of any ones local church, though in some instances that makes sense also, but we should at least give some credence to the fact that we need to make some changes in the way we do business.....kingdom business! That is truly the operative word here, the kingdom, because if one is still doing church as usual then this article has already offended you. We claim we understand the Body of Christ and its significance in all of us being interdependent and interconnected but yet we don't pool our resources to accomplish the GREATER goals we all say we embrace. My challenge in this principle is that this being done would never have to impede or interfere with any local church vision. I believe that most of us in ministry are simply trying to build our own kingdoms when the Kingdom of God should be our primary and only focus. We have so much world that we need to conquer and win for Jesus, so few laborers and even fewer resources both time, talent and treasure to pull from.

Kingdom people let us not fall into this selfishness that keeps us in pursuit of those things that bring us glory and none to GOD......let's merge in anyway we can to get done corporately, what I'm sure we can get done alone but my question is simply....WHY??
