Grace for your spirit
Beloved, you are acting faithfully in whatever you accomplish for the brethren, and especially when they are strangers III Jn 5
While it is certainly true that the mission of the church is stopping error, we are equally charged with spreading truth. Our mission is not only to stop false teachers, but also to encourage right ones. Running people off is rather easy, but instructing, nurturing, and encouraging takes more time and effort. In Acts 18, when Priscilla & Aquila met Apollos teaching incorrectly, they could have run him off, but instead, they took the time and effort to properly instruct. With that, Apollos became extremely productive in the kingdom. Let's go and do the same.
