In a healthy church, the love that flows through God’s children is deeper, richer, faster and more authentic than that which is found anywhere else in the world! There is a common goal among believers, a common sacrifice, common values, common habits and common traditions. We connect more than on Sunday mornings, once a week. We relish day by day fellowship.
Agape love motivates disciples to sacrifice their egos in service to each other. So, if I don’t always get to sing the songs I like, I’ll not gripe and complain. If everyone else doesn’t dress up (or dress down) like I do on Sunday mornings, I’ll not judge them. If someone hurts me, I will forgive them and “get over it.” Even though the world does not grasp this kind love, growing churches are filled with Christians who work to have “all things in common” (Acts 2:42-47). In fact, we are part of a fellowship that connects us, even with total strangers, as we celebrate our oneness in Christ.
Building Christ’s Church in 2010 Requires:
# 6 A Spirit of Harmony
# 7 Every Member Being A Minister
# 8 Practicing AGAPE Fellowship
