Letters to the Editor

"Labels -- Part 1"

Great article in VCM!

I am so thankful for your article on "Labels." I personally eschew labels for the same reasons that you bring out in your article. They box you in and compartmentalize you in a way that doesn't encompass the fullness of each of us as a person.

If I chose one label for myself, it would be "Christian." That is the only label that fully describes who I am and am aspiring to be.

You brought to the forefront the detrimental effect of labels (indeed, of judging...which most labels applied to others are). They are divisive tools of Satan to separate the Body of Christ, and we are all way too susceptible to embracing them because we think that somehow that distinguishes us from the way of humanity and the way of Satan.

Just wanted to say "Thanks."
