Dear Bro. McBride:

Every Christian should strive to be balanced, and fair-minded and endeavor to familiarize himself with both sides of every question. Yet there comes a time when every Christian has to take a stand for that which is in harmony with God's will and oppose that which is contrary to it. In your attempt to be neutral towards the various trends within the Lord's church you are giving significant aid and comfort to those who are working to corrupt the church and reduce it to a humanly devised denomination. The very favorable attention you provide to the "agents of change" at work among us is evidence of this.
The Dialogue with Bro. Max Lucado is a perfect example.  I hazard the guess that you were not baptized with the same understanding that Bro. Lucado expressed in his interview.

Neutrality is a pleasing concept to those who neither know nor love the truth of the Gospel, but Jesus said, "He that is not with me is against me, and he that gathereth not with me scattereth" (Matt. 12:30).
