Old Dreams and New Visions (video)

/

The middle wall of division came down theologically at Calvary. Although the wall came down in the mind of God, however, it did not come down in human minds until years later. The divides among people groups continue to oppose the tenets of Christianity, yet the current atmosphere is ripe for old dreams of unity to materialize in visionary ways. Christians can supply the agency that is necessary to turn old dreams into new visions of unity within the body of Christ and beyond. Are you a dreamer or a visionary? We need both.
