"This is the message you heard from the beginning: we should love one another" (1 John 3:1

Earnest men and women of faith are sometimes convinced that the 'message' their church, or their faith movement gives out to the world, is the truth of God, but the witness of other ministries is not, or not quite. It ought to be obvious that such brash confidence does not fit well with the sentiment of today's Scripture. Pride is a subtle evil--especially spiritual pride. The only word Christian agencies are authorized to share is that one which turns people toward each other in love.
