The Bible asks the rhetorical question, “Can two walk together unless they are agreed?” (Amos 3:3).

The answer is an emphatic – No! For any journey involving two or more people to succeed, there must of necessity be a common purpose and mutual agreement, especially on the fundamental issues. Otherwise, even a seemingly mundane matter – such as which route to take – could easily bring the journey to an abrupt end. Splits are therefore not totally uncommon in human engagements – even in the Bible.
