I'm still having my world challenged by wise words:
"The Old Testament prophets who called others to repentance did so in brokenness and humility, often weeping over the sin they were confronting. They openly identified with those God had sent them to warn, rather than setting themselves above them and levelling accusations against them---an attitude that is all too prevalent today. We need broken-hearted prophets, men and women who have heard from God and will call his church to holiness and love for one another.
Let us stand together in true love and unity as Christian brothers and sisters demonstrating to the world the presence and power of Christ. Let us turn away from the manipulation of information and the judgemental attitudes that so often cast a slur across the whole body of Christ. Instead, may each of us determine to strive for unity and not divisiveness, and may those who feel God has called them to correct others in the public arena do so in brokenness and humility." (pp. 87-88)
