Which is why I believe your the right person to be in the position you are in, for this time and season here at the Net.
Because I trust the motive of your heart, it helps me to embrace your perspective of what the priorities are for the Forum, in this new season.
My perspective (because we see in part), or the part I see that is important in the unity of faith in the bond of peace is to emphasize the truth of the doctrine of Christ.
The part that says...that we should no longer be children, tossed to and fro and carried about
with every wind of doctrine,
And He Himself gave some to be apostles, some prophets, some evangelists, and some pastors and teachers, for the equipping of the saints for the work of ministry, for the edifying of the body of Christ, till we all come to the unity of the faith and of the knowledge of the Son of God, to a perfect man, to the measure of the stature of the fullness of Christ; that we should no longer be children, tossed to and fro and carried about with every wind of doctrine, by the trickery of men, in the cunning craftiness of deceitful plotting, but, speaking the truth in love, may grow up in all things into Him who is the head—Christ— Ephesians 4:11-15
The way I’m geared is to expound upon foundational doctrinal principals, so as to bring clarity and common understanding for the purpose of the unity of faith.
However I’m working on this part .
- speaking the truth in love
For me personally, I don’t believe we are to compromise truth for the sake of unity.
At the same time, I believe truth spoken outside of the character of love is little more than divination.
So goes the delicate balance which requires God’s wisdom, patience and love.
