Key Verse for Today:
Key Verse: “The person who refuses to love doesn’t know the first thing about God, because God is love – so you can’t know him if you don’t love.” 1 John 4:8 (MSG)
Jesus is…
• … and therefore we are called to be… Passionate.
• Psalm 69:9. • Passion for your house has consumed me, and
the insults of those who insult you have fallen on me.
James 2:17
•So you see, faith by itself isn't enough. Unless it produces good deeds, it is dead and useless.
• New Living Translation (©2007)

Love our neighbour as ourselves?
“…Out of a commitment to an ideal of Christian relatedness that sees us all as God’s children, each worthy of attention and care.” (p.145)
Where is the balance between conserving our sanity/deeper relationships, and ensuring that all feel valued? What about friendship ‘clearouts’?

Here is the heart of it. The more you tell the story of Jesus and pray for his Spirit, the more you discover what the church should be doing in the present time. (2012)

practical love and a high-consumption lifestyle are compatible… or whether we must choose.” (Matt 10:17-27)

The best people in the world aren’t those who never fail – but those who fail and learn something from it. I hope that your goal in life isn’t to slide safely into death not having screwed up much.
Some good advice from @ianaspin:
Care for others - genuinely
Know that the world doesn’t revolve around you
Be ‘remarkable’, be different
Earn the right to have others take notice of you
Be grateful if ONE person cares what you’re doing
Have something to say that matters
Do stuff that matters – make an impact
Strive to bring value to everyone you connect with
Be fantastically generous with our time, money, and kindness
Be outrageously committed to making the world better
It’s all about relationships – build & nurture them
