Thus it must be a decisive rule of every Christian fellowship that each individual is prohibited from saying much that occurs to him. Just as love to God begins with listening to His Word, so the beginning of love for the brethren is learning to listen to them. It is God’s love for us that He not only gives us His Word but also lends us His ear.
