It is produced by definite design. Neglect to instruct along lines of loyalty, and you will not see loyalty manifested. It is not wrong for a minister to be justifiably proud of his heritage, of his brethren, of the churches, and of the united efforts for God. Such loyalty is an indication of denominational health and vigor. As a minister of CCNA for many years, I have always felt a sense of responsibility toward my fellow colleagues, and to have a decided concern for the united endeavors that are put forth for God's glory.
Loyalty calls for team effort.
It demands sacrifice. It requires an individual to join in a united endeavor without expecting any more in return than knowing he has been part of the team. He rejoices when the entire body is victorious. Loyalty does not seek for individual honors or acclaim. Loyalty upholds the cause and the ideal, whether or not there is individual recognition.
