Stirred By The Scriptures

Mark pointed out to me recently how much of the New Testament letters to churches deal with how we love and treat each other. Maybe it would better be said, how hard it is to love each other and often what a poor job we do. I am sure if we sat and had a cup of coffee the reasons for why that is would be many. We make assumptions, we say things with a certain tone, we interpret through our own insecurities and the list goes on. At the end of the day all those reasons (or excuses) don’t change this truth:

“...rather serve one another in love. The entire law is summed up in a single command: ‘Love your neighbor as yourself.” - Galatians 5:13, 14
