Be on your guard; stand firm in the faith; be courageous; be strong. Do everything in love. – 1 Corinthians 16:13-14 (NIV)
Today’s commentary by Dave Whitehead, Author of Making Sense of the Bible
We must be watchful if we expect to live the way that God intends for us. But having our eyes wide open and our beliefs clearly defined are not enough, for many people have been deeply hurt by the wounds of watchful, doctrinally correct Christians. Our motive ultimately has to be love, which acknowledges where people are in their journey while lifting up who Jesus is in His splendor. As we create this atmosphere, people feel safe to wrestle with the gospel and—as a result—are transformed.
