I had a dear friend tell me once that, in this regard, our goal as believers was to speak the truth in love. It's difficult to be because it plays to our pride, as you said. It's only something that we're able to do when we're walking by means of the Spirit. Hope you're well! ~ George I agree with you Randy.

This is a difficult issue for most of us I think. Often it is thought that we must either be doctrinally sound or loving - speak the truth or love, but it's one or the other and never the twain shall meet. Instead Paul says that the unity of the faith is based on and produces more love, because with greater knowledge of Who Christ is and who we are in Him, their is greater intimacy with Him and with others in the Body of Christ. See 2 Peter 1:1-9. I think this is good Randy. This is a difficult issue for most of us I think.
