WHEN LOVE REIGNS
When love reigns in a church, everything begins to take off. It is like when the sun shines in a garden — everything starts to grow! When there is love, members of the church will be prepared to risk making mistakes, knowing that it will not matter, and that they will be loved all the same. Love like that will become infectious. It cannot be held back by church doors. It will flow out into the community. “You shall love the Lord your God with all your heart, and with all your soul, and with all your mind, and with all your strength.” (Mark 12:30) THAT IS WORSHIP. “You shall love your neighbor as yourself.” (Mark 12:31) THAT IS EVANGELISM. And it is best embodied in the local church, warts and all. Taken from Evangelism through the Local Church, by Michael Green, pgs. 420 – 421, published by Thomas Nelson Publishing
