The Problem With Labels
Labeling people is really never fair. Consider this…
Some fundamentalist Christians believe only in the King James Bible. Others believe in blowing up abortion clinics. Both could be labeled fundamentalists. But they aren’t really operating from the same value set.
Some seeker sensitive churches throw out God’s Word as the standard in order to reach people. Others have a high regard for the Bible, but believe a church service can be an effective way to reach people.
The FBI just busted more than 30 Latino’s who were part of a massive gang here in Cartersville. That doesn’t mean every Latino is in a gang.
Be careful when you start labeling churches and thinking that your one or two word description sums up all they are about. You may find your label falls way short, or worse yet, isn’t true at all.

People too. Someone once said they thought I looked too “nice” to be their friend. Once she got to know me–who I really was–not who I looked like I was–we became really good friends. Maybe that’s why some people try to change the way they look–bust out of the box–so they won’t have to wear the label of who they aren’t.
