[dropcap]T[/dropcap]he Church simply must get deeply in touch with what the Gospel actually means in regard to how we are now to relate to God and man. Jesus invited people into a connection with Him, not a religious reform program. He showed up in the midst of our brokenness with compassion and healing, shocking everyone by how fearless He was about keeping His love on with sinners. Jesus didn’t create distance with broken people; He created connection. But this shouldn’t surprise us, because we know that His entire mission was to finally remove sin—the source of all relational disconnection—through the cross.
Excerpt from Ch 10 ‘Did you learn to love’ in Keep Your Love On by Danny Silk
Our ten week series based on Keep Your Love On has given our church impetus to work on its relationships. Hopefully our connections, communication and boundaries are improving daily. Now we get to practice ‘Keeping Our Love On’ as we work on our connections with people in our city who need to know they are loved and valued.
