Few works of the enemy are so destructive, so wrenching to the body of Christ as division in a church congregation. The reasons are many and include ambition, bitterness, and jealousy. Once a wedge is driven into the heart of a church, the congregation and pastor are usually destroyed by bitterness, gossip, rebellion and even hatred.
Until now wounded flocks and broken pastors have had little direction for healing. With candor and insight, Francis Frangipane exposes the true force that pits Christians against one another. He explains what to do if caught in a split and offers safeguards against future strife. Here is help for churches to heal the rifts and move forward into Christlikeness once again.

Bring unity out of division!
Few works of the enemy are as destructive to the Body of Christ as a church split. Once a wedge is driven into the heart of a congregation, the result is usually bitterness, grief, even hatred among those who are called to live together in love.
Wounded flocks and broken pastors have had little direction for the road back to wholeness-until now. As author Francis Frangipane shines the bright light of Scripture into the shadows of division, he exposes the demonic curse at work. He explains what to do if your church is caught in this turmoil and reveals biblical safeguards against future strife.
If you have experienced strain in the past or recognize a storm brewing in the present, let A House United guide you to restoration and peace. Frangipane shows you how to obtain once more the "unoffendable" heart of Jesus Christ.

Amazing Read
By MamaReel
I'm two-thirds of the way through this book and highly recommend it. The author starts out by asserting that the Lord knows what division is like. He feels the pain of a pastor going through a church split; after all, when Lucifer rebelled he convinced 1/3 of heaven's army to join his rebellion. Whatever your church is arguing about, that's not the real issue. The real issue is that the Enemy seeks to divide and will use anything he can to destroy relationships. Frangipane goes on to discuss how strife among the brothers can cause 'little ones' to stumble, including children witnessing discord as well as new believers in Christ. Christ brings unity, Satan brings strife.
Frangipane discusses the true nature of religious ambition and the ways we can do the right things with the wrong motives. He discusses the fact that before you examine your pastor, examine his accuser. There are many spirits within the church that are opposed to unity and devoid of humility. Those are not the spirit of Christ. The Greek word for "devil" actually means slanderer, false accuser or malicious gossip. In the church we must be especially careful to only take the flaws of our leadership to the Lord in prayer (with the exception of serious sin which should be reported to authorities) rather than spreading it all over town. If we are not merciful, we will not be shown mercy. "The moment we begin to self-righteously judge or gossip about another for their failings, we lean a little closer toward our own fall."
The author talks about when leaders sin and how a wounded church can go through the healing process. Also, the importance of intercession for our pastors. "In some ways a fallen but restored pastor has a depth of compassion, a "grace understanding," that makes a wonderful shepherd out of him or her".
We as believers need to be thankful, grateful people. Unfortunately, gossip and grumbling have become so common in churches today that it's been nearly elevated to the status of tradition. We need to get free from the deception of discontent. Frangipane has a chapter titled "Declare War on Grumbling" and challenges his readers to spend the next 30 days without complaining and finding things for which to be grateful. Remember that when you complain, you find fault. Lucifer found fault with Heaven! Paradise wasn't good enough for him. We need to cultivate a culture of gratitude and stop gossiping about church leaders, instead pray for them and remember the good things you love about them. Don't give the enemy a foothold.
God is a God of Order. He established authority. A humble heart submits to authority without grumbling, complaining or inspiring rebellion. He goes on to discuss biblical honor. In America, we value freedom so much that anything that diminishes freedom such as self-denial, honor or compliance are devalued. We tend to reject authority and tradition. However, the Lord throughout scripture talks about honor. I Peter 2:17-18 says we should honor all people and honor the king. These are ideas most Americans don't like. Our tradition of dishonoring people and pointing out their flaws continually does not come from God, but rather from the opposite spirit. There are no perfect leaders. When we expose their imperfections it brings a curse upon us (Genesis 9:22-27). We must show honor because a true Christian respects and esteems all people so that we might reflect the love of God.
I found Frangipane's book to be very eye-opening and enlightening. I am convicted of all the ways I have dishonored my parents, employers, pastors by speaking ill of them and exposing their weaknesses. I'm not sure how I'll become a more positive person except for the grace of God. Thanks, Pastor Frangipane, for this timely word to the church.

Working for Unity
By RL-Acy
- A House United covers most of the bases about Church unity, and is especially practical. Francis does not merely talk about theories but what we should do about it. He gets down to the nitty-gritty like what cause divisions, how to heal divisions and more.
- Example the primary cause of divisions is Christians/members who complain and criticize each other and criticize the leadership of their church. I am not ignorant that our leaders are not perfect, and that they miss many things in the bible but do "I help" by criticizing them?
- One of Satan's greatest strategy is to DIVIDE the Body of Christ.
- R.A. Torrey said, If you want a "BETTER" pastor/leader PRAY for him and then stand back and watch God change him and make him a better leader. Praying Hyde learned this when he started to criticize an evangelist in India but the Lord led Hyde to pray for this evangelist AND primarily to THANK GOD for him. Hyde then saw God change the evangelist, in a few months, to become one of the BEST evangelist in all of India.
- Unity is NOT AN OPTION, spiritual warfare can ONLY be won when we stand together, help one another, and pray for one another. In the O.T. the elders (leaders) ruled (together) in the gate of the city.
- THAT is what we need TODAY: pastors and other leaders, in a city, coming 'TOGETHER' to pray, and to rule in the gate(s) for their city. Ps. 133 God 'commands' a blessing THERE, where brothers dwell together in unity.
I PRAY IT BE SO in my city and your city.
