"I propose to regard all of God's children as my brothers. I intend to treat them as brothers. I have resolved to make nothing a test of fellowship which God has not made a condition of salvation. I shall accuse no one of being an Antichrist who is built upon the one foundation simply because he differs with me about such things as instrumental music or the millennium. I will not allow our divergent views upon such matters to keep me from associating with any of my brothers, or helping all of them.
I shall go visit any group to share what I have learned, and to share in what they have learned. I shall go with none of them in partisan alliance, for my allegiance is to Jesus Christ. I am joined to Him and through Him to all others who are joined unto Him. Never again will I be a champion of any party, faction, or clique. I refuse to be affiliated with any clan in which my love for these precludes my love for those. He is my all!"
--W. Carl Ketcherside, The Twisted Scriptures, pg. 152
hooray for Ketcherside! I'm reading the Death of the Custodian right now. I've never read it before & I've also got The Twisted Scriptures borrowed. I thank God for Ketcherside's courage & leadership.
