One: God. Love. Savior.

"If our houses aren't houses of love, then they can't be churches of God." - Pastor Jim Cymbala

What more really needs to be said, this #communitySaturday.
Seriously? I'm tempted to leave that as it is. 
And why not?

The early church didn't have lights and sound and buildings.
Scripture doesn't even name specific individuals as the church was birthed. (Acts 11:19-21)
No personalities, no ego, no special effects.
No extra words to write, by me or anyone else.
Just Jesus. By the power of the Holy Spirit.
For all that God is, it begins and ends with His love.



Thanks for joining me this #communitySaturday. I'm watching the kids play at McDonald's Play Place, as we await power to be restored at our residence and I just looked up to see the first flurries of the season are falling. Let us pray, as people realize again, that times are changing, that for whatever problems they face, may they hear and know that Christ is the answer. As people are searching for solutions, since the problems are well known, may their hearts be prepared to receive the truth, as it is Jesus. May the church and the people of God be people who are known for our love. For it is how we are told the world will recognize those who live in Christ. May it not be by our socio-economic status, our political leanings, the brand we wear or drive or watch; not by our denomination or our stance on social and cultural issues that dominate conversations in the public square. May we exalt Christ alone, that the Holy Spirit may engage in affairs of man.

One message.
One voice.
One purpose.
God is love.
Jesus alone saves.
