Do Not Judge Other Believers

The church was never meant to be a cozy club of like-minded people. One race or social position or intellectual caliber. Christians are not clones, identical in all respects. One of the difficulties the church has always faced is that included in its membership are the rich and the poor, the powerful and the powerless, those from every stratum of society, the old and the young, adults and children, conservatives and the radicals. People from a great number of nations are Christians and people of every temperament. Now we bring that all together in the body and we are now to function in a harmonious, unified loving way in our relationship to one another.
