If love is not in the truth we tell,
are we telling the whole truth?dw
I read this from the apostle Paul today – he is coaching Timothy on how to be a good pastor.
The whole point of what we’re urging is simply love—love uncontaminated by self-interest and counterfeit faith, a life open to God. Those who fail to keep to this point soon wander off into dead ends of gossip. They set themselves up as experts on religious issues, but haven’t the remotest idea of what they’re holding forth with such imposing eloquence.

A fine and enlightening translation of text I have read many times. A warning to some and an indictment to others. May God grant me the ability discern which camp I fall into to.
God’s Blessings.
