When a Christian is killed in Egypt or Nigeria, in Pakistan or North Korea, their executioners are not, by and large, asking them what denomination they belong to. Those Christians are not dying for being Coptic or Catholic, Anglican or Orthodox, a Baptist missionary or Methodist minister ....they are simply dying for loving and standing by Christ.

Maybe we in our comfortable, safe Western culture should seek first to see the love of Christ in another believer, before we start tearing them down due to differences in dogma. It's Christ's banner we stand under ultimately, not our denominational pennants. In a world which our brethren are dying daily for our Lord's name, let us be love and light to one another in these troubled times.
