Something I found in a very funny book
When God created the universe, he made something out of nothing, which highlights a major difference between God and people.
When God makes something out of nothing, it is a positive act that brings planets and stars and comets into being.
When people make something out of nothing it usually means they've been spending too much time arguing about the colour of the curtains in the fellowship hall.
Over the years, arguments about matters both trivial and non-trivial have led to the creation of countless denominations.
Although this has created a lot of confusion, it's not reason for despair.
As Genesis says, God brought order to a chaotic, primeval world.
So it's safe to say that God can also work wonders through a chaotic hodge-podge of denominations.
