Influence Me
We have avoided fellowship with one another in the past for fear of being tainted by faulty doctrine or ecclesiology. In so doing, we have precluded influencing one another toward better doctrine and church life. I mourn the lost opportunities we had to build one another up (Eph. 4.1-13). Brothers, I invite you to speak into my life. I have repented of my doctrinal arrogance and I am keenly aware of how much I need to hear your perspectives. I am ready to "reason together." I invite you to influence me.
