Thoughts from tonight's service

"Love God; love the brothers; don't love the world."

This is a summary of the Christian life as Pastor Phillips mentioned tonight. It is interesting that most forms of Christianity seem to go astray on one of these three points. We usually remember to love God. But we often forget to love our brothers. And if we remember that, we may well forget that we must not love the world system in which we live. For my particular slice of Christianity, I think, we struggle most with the middle proposition, while we usually remember to love our God and not be so fascinated by the world.

Complete devotion to God, full familial loyalty and service to the believing community, and abhorrence of that which seeks to distract and detract from these first commands... that is a good look at Biblical Christianity.
