Culture of Love: Strong Together

Loving the wounded is easy; loving the poor, doable. But what about loving the Believer in the pew across the aisle? Or harder still the ones in the church down the street? Those we call brothers and sisters? How about the single mother causing a ruckus; the poor man in the back row? Now that's where the rubber meets the road--where it gets tough--the nitty gritty of it all.

Those are for whom Christ is returning. We know the Love Chapter but do we apply it?

It's powerless if all we do is quote it or frame it and hang it on the wall.

It's time for the church to come together in unity. After all, the unbeliever will know us by our love for one another. It's the unity of the Believers that will draw them to Christ. It's time to drop our judgments against those different from us; those who worship differently or dress differently or even think a bit differently than we think. If we believe Jesus is Lord, that makes us siblings. We need to start acting like it. Unity is where strength will be found.

The power of unity is the power that will change the world. The sword we must learn to wield is the sword of a unified body. That's for whom Christ is coming. It's time to stand together. Love together. Worship together. Be strong together. On our own, we fall ... united we stand.

Culture of Love is a blueprint carrying us back to the Church of Acts, where the church was the Church of Jesus Christ. Over time, the body of believers has been dumbed down to the point of being ineffective; that's about to change. Will our world spiralling out of control, God is calling the end time army to rise up. Culture of Love is the marching orders for that army.
