It seems almost coincidental to me. Just a few weeks ago I had one of the best Sunday morning classes of my life. The topic was love. Then I go to church, and we change our mission statement and announce that we are making a focus upon the families in the church and centering ourselves around love for each other and God. When I get back to college, turns out that my church here is doing much the same. I can't say how much I love it. I think it's great and churches are making great ideas.
I hope this is here to stay. I hope this isn't just some movement that is here for only awhile. I hope that this is for the right reasons and not just because it seems to be the popular thing to do. Society seems to be pushing into a more liberal direction and I hope this isn't just the church pushing into a more liberal direction also. This is where we need to be. Love should be the focus.
Back to that class I was talking about. It really got me thinking. The rule in the new testament is to love God and love others. All the other "rules" stem from that. The thing is, there aren't really any other rules. We have to remember that. If we love God and love others the rest should follow. We should be considerate out of love. We should be faithful out of love.
It's something that I struggle with constantly, but am working on. It's something that, I think, would change how the church and Christians, are viewed. I still have a lot of questions about how I can do this, but it is something that has been on my mind.
We want love, love at the core
So much more than what we're living for
We want love, we want love, love at the core
