'"This year's focus for the National Day of Prayer on Thursday, May 3, was Christian unity.
Jesus started the Christian Unity Prayer Movement when He prayed that the believers would be united in Him and unite d with each other so the world would know that God sent him.' (John 17:20-23)." -- Ron Allen
Jesus of course did no such thing beloved. John 17 contains a long prayer referred to as the High Priestly Prayer. It is true that within this long prayer He prays for unity but only after he explicitly explains that doctrine is what we unify around. Without sound doctrine and an uncompromised Gospel, there is no unity. The type of unity that Ron Allen is calling for is unity for unity's sake. It is what you will hear increasing as the days grow darker. Soon those that demand sound doctrine will be the agitators, the legalists, and those that will be persecuted.
For the time will come when people will not put up with sound doctrine. Instead, to suit their own desires, they will gather around them a great number of teachers to say what their itching ears want to hear. They will turn their ears away from the truth and turn aside to myths. 2Timothy 4: 3-4 (NIV)
