Comments on: Emerging Angle: Love the Context for All Mission http://www.mosaicalliance.com/leadership/emerging4/ Wed, 7 Jan 2009 02:56:16 +0000 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.5 By: Beth Ladd http://www.mosaicalliance.com/leadership/emerging4/#comment-653 Beth Ladd Wed, 24 Oct 2007 23:40:47 +0000 http://mosaicalliance.com/leadership/love/#comment-653 Thank you, Erwin! For the convicting reminder that the Apostle Paul also taught in 1 Corinthians 13. Without love, we are all "noisy gongs"!! John wrote in the first chapter of his gospel that Jesus was full of two things: love and truth. (John 1:14) They are mutually compatible and not exclusive of one another. May we be more like Christ and full of both grace and truth! Thank you, Erwin! For the convicting reminder that the Apostle Paul also taught in 1 Corinthians 13.

I have the sense that love is pretty risky - it may not be returned, it opens us to being changed, it exposes the possibility that we're not as loving as we think we are. It's funny that the church as an 'organization' may be willing to endure the rigours of change, but that the people of that same organization may not embrace the importance of love. Erwin, you are so bang on. Without love, mission does not take place in the proper context. Thanks for reading the heart of God.
