FROM PRODUCER OF FIREPROOF & WAR ROOM

Beats From Your Pastor’s Heart:

Colossians 3:14, “And above all these things put on charity, which is the bond of perfectness.”

To have the bond of perfection, to have a perfect relationship, does not mean that you and I are perfect.

Perfection in the Bible refers to one thing–the perfect love of God.

That is perfection.

Of course, we know that we are all imperfect people.

We make mistakes, we offend one another, we often neglect one another unwittingly.

We do things without even knowing what we have done.

Sometimes we even hurt others intentionally.

So how can you have a perfect church?

What is a perfect church?

A perfect church is simply where there are fallen sinners, who have weaknesses and failures, but who at the same time enjoy the perfect love of Calvary flowing among them.

This love of God flowing is the bond of perfection.

In the church life, eventually there will be things that you are unhappy about.

You will be disappointed over things that did not go the way you expected them to.

Perhaps you will say, “This is not what I thought it was going to be.”

What you need to do at that moment is to touch the source of the perfect love of God (1 John 4:11-12, 16-17).

Begin calling “Jesus.”

Enjoy God.

There is His forgiveness, there is His kindness, there is His forbearance.

When the flow of the love of God is between us, that is the building.

That is Christ.

We are being built up in love with one another.

Paul’s word in Ephesians 4:15 tells us that we should speak, or hold, the truth in love.

We should not use the truth like a hammer over one another.

There are imperfect situations in the church life, but there is a factor between us, and that factor is the perfect love of God.

Until Tomorrow, 

With A Shepherd’s Love

Pastor
