Labels: Part 2

I previously posted an entry called "Labels." We are so good at labeling everything from products to people.

There seems to be one time when labels don't really matter to most of us. When someone is in trouble. When a church burns down, we suddenly look at the members of the church as fellow Christians, not Baptists, Methodists, Episcopalian, or whatever. When we look at persecuted Christians, we don't see labels. Read some of the stories on the Voice of Martyrs website, and while they my mention the denomination or group the martyr served with, you will look past the label.

I wish we could get past looking at the labels, and see people as what they are: people.
