God expects you, as a Christian, to give 100% of yourself to Him. He expects nothing to be in your life which could detract from Him. One of the ten commandments tells us to have no other gods before Him. The term “gods” in this verse can take on may forms.

It is easy to get caught up with being proud of accomplishments, and number and events, and forget that it is Christ Who we are thankful for for all the things we accomplish and have. [...] There are so many reasons why we as Christians, and as a church should be unified. There are no reasons why we should be divided. Paul speaks about the “ones” within Ephesians 4:4-6.
