See Luke 6:32; If you love those who love you, what credit is that to you? For even sinners love those who love them. Talk about vision. Is that vision according to the Word being revealed to you or is it vision according to a ministry? When I read the Word, that is my relationship to vision.
Titus Chu used to often refer to I Cor 12.5 "And there are varieties of ministries, and the same Lord." He regularly used this verse in context with the narrow-mindedness of the Blended brothers. His most ardent supporters around the GLA used this to show how Titus was more open and receptive to the ministry of others than those provincial bigots at LSM.

But what has his track record been with other gifted brothers God has placed him with? One by one they have parted ways with Titus. Nearly not one gifted worker, with his own "variety of ministry" has ever remained with Titus. Titus simply cannot accommodate any ideas other than his own. All the talk about Titus having "changed, become more receptive, respectful of others, accommodating, yada yada was mere lip service.

Titus and Nigel have been together for 40 years, and now they can't get along. John Myer and Titus were together for 25 years and now they can't get along. Jim Reetzke and Bill Barker in Chicago 40 plus years. Timothy Feng 40 years. Benjamen Chen of NYC since 1953. Chuck Debelak since 1977. The list goes on and on and on and on.
