TO BE KNOWN BY OUR LOVE FOR ONE ANOTHER...

12 years ago God told me that church as we know it would change. He also gave me a commission to be involved in rebuilding the Bride by breaking down the walls that separate denominations. Back then I was a fiery charismatic with a great intolerance for reformed and catholic churches. Today, not only has many of the things happened in the Church that God told me about back then, but MY HEART has changed.

Over many years He has revealed to me the sincerity and reverence in Catholics worldwide. He showed me the wisdom and stability of the Reformed. He showed me the joy and faith of the Charismatic. But he also showed me the flaws of each. Surprisingly I heard Him say “Stop focusing on the flaws and concentrate on what binds you together into one Body”

We need to stop wasting time on criticism and spend more time on digging deeper. I am NOT saying “anything goes”. I am saying we should get to know each other’s hearts before we attempt to correct or advise. You might end up finding that some of the things YOU defended and held on to dearly was not as Godly as you thought!

Let’s get to know each other! Let’s get the Bride ready through LOVE!

John 13:35 New International Version (NIV): 35 By this everyone will know that you are my disciples, if you love one another.”
