1Corinthians 13:7 (Love) “…bears all things…”
The word ‘bears’ in this context can also be rendered as “support” – supporting others is a huge part of what it means to love.
I’ve always felt that if Jesus was the foundation, how one builds their house is up to them. I taught my children this, explaining that just because one mommy runs her home a certain way that is different from another mommy, doesn’t mean she’s not a mommy. I love all Believing denominations and feel each is special in its own way. Some are so beautiful in their symbolic worship while others just as beautiful in their zeal for education and Bible reading.
In fact, when reading the New Testament I believe on face value the part that says, “There is neither Jew nor Greek, there is neither slave nor free man, there is neither male nor female; for you are all one in Christ Jesus.” (Galatians 3:8)
Speaking on love himself this month, yesterday my pastor did the most supportive thing I’ve ever seen a pastor do in church. He was talking about what it means to encourage and lift up other believers. He stopped in the middle of service and prayed, asking God to bless the other believing churches in Las Vegas. It was so amazing to be in church as the pastor prayed for the blessing of other churches in the valley! If you want to listen to the sermon it’s here. Click on Agape Week #3.
When I was searching for a church home a few years ago, one of the MAIN reasons I kept going to Grace Point was that I never heard Devin put any other church or denomination down.
What I witnessed yesterday is a true example of how to be a person of God who lifts up, bears all and brings grace to others!
Standing Ovation for Devin Hudson! Awesome message!
Thank you for coming to Sin City, bringing God’s agape love with you!
