"We know love by this, that He laid down His life for us; and we ought to lay down our lives for the brethren." - 1 John 3:16I _so_ desire for the church to be the church.
On this particular day I am struck by the lack of it in one of the groups that I attend, and it is driving me crazy. Why aren't Bible-believing, sincere Christians who have the Spirit of God, willing to open up their hearts to one another, to be real about their sins and struggles and to fight the good fight alongside one another?
"And let us consider how to stimulate one another to love and good deeds, not forsaking our own assembling together, as is the habit of some, but encouraging one another; and all the more as you see the day drawing near." - Hebrews 10:24-25
Please do pray for us.
Mm, oh do I know that desire. My prayers are with you.
