We believe God speaks to every conscience open to hearing Him, whether we feel worthy or not. He subtly guides each of us through the daily paths He knows, through circumstances He sees, toward a character He is shaping. Our daily choices matter. Grace is not a license to sin; it is a divine trait and power. The Christian life is a walk, a maturing, a becoming. We follow the example of our Savior, who went about doing good, and we continue to go about doing good whether or not our efforts are authorized, recognized, or rewarded by any institutions or traditions of mortals. No soul finishes in a day. No soul is beyond His reach.

We call to repentance anyone who would think to manage or restrict the grace of God toward any of His children. Gatekeeping of salvation and other modern woes of the Pharisees will not be tolerated within this interfaith community. We exhort all souls in the name of Jesus Christ, do not dare to condemn anyone over differences in doctrine or theology. Every soul who seeks Christ is under His protection. Every one of them is precious to Him. Christ expressed His fierce protective nature over all who seek Him. His warning: "Whoso shall offend one of these little ones which believe in me, it were better for him that a millstone were hanged about his neck, and that he were drowned in the depth of the sea." If any part of this warning offends you in the least degree, good! It was intended as a call to Christlike love, a call to repentance from contentions and judgments — a call that would not offend the pure in heart.† The standards for this interfaith community? "Deal gently with the ignorant and misguided" and "accept the one whose faith is weak, without quarreling over disputable matters." Again we caution, do not stand between the Shepherd and His lambs.
