Imperfections

Imperfections in predecessors should be expected, but their faults should be seen as an opportunity for improvement-not as damaging evidence. (A Time to Choose, p. 24.)

Satanic "salesmen" must try to make up in cleverness what they lack in content, while righteousness often has advocates who are,unintentionally, halting, even clumsy in their advocacy of that which is right. This points up our need to fall in love with the Gospel itself and to make allowance for each other-the faulty human conduits through whom the message comes. (A Time to Choose, pp. 30-31.)
