Getting It Right
“He who begins by loving Christianity better than truth, will proceed by loving his own sect or church better
than Christianity, and end in loving himself better than all.” -Samuel Taylor Coleridge, 1772-1834
No one particular group of believers has a corner on the Truth, but when Christ is preached, and loved by those who have trusted Him, then it doesn't really matter what church one belongs to.
