Love One Another

Our lives seem to be filled with all kinds of tough decisions that need to be made and difficult choices that we wish we could avoid.  Sadly, ultimately, the choices must be faced with integrity while driven by principle, prayer and grace.  And in the middle of all of this, the church is called to love one another.  Jesus tells us plainly: “I am the vine and you are the branches…now, remain in My love.  If you keep My commands, you will remain in My love…My command is this: Love each other as I have loved you” (John 15:5, 9-10, 12).  No matter how hard the choices that we make are, no matter what conclusions we feel we are driven to by prayer, by principle, by grace, we still have the duty—no, the privilege—of doing it all in Christ-like love.  And by God’s grace, so we shall.
