! Looking For Unity – 13
!! *Out-of-Balance or Out-of-Bounds – 03*
The ancient motto: */“In essentials, unity; in non-essentials, liberty; in all things, charity"/* reflects the admonition of Jesus found in *Matthew 23:23-24*.
Demanding the mint tithe while failing to weigh out the importance of mercy is to strain at a gnat while swallowing a camel.
There are “gnat” issues and there are “camel” issues, and we must distinguish between the two.
*John R. W. Stott* expresses the genius of the ancient motto in these words:
In fundamentals [/essentials/], then, *faith [/doctrine/] is primary*, and we must not appeal to love as an excuse to deny essential faith [/truths/].
In non-fundamentals [/non-essentials/], however, *love is primary*, and we may not appeal to zeal for the faith as an excuse for failures in love.
Faith instructs our own conscience; love respects the conscience of others.
Faith gives liberty; love limits its exercise.
Stott, J. R. W. (2001).
