Love—What do you have to risk?
Listen now
Description
When we love—especially with godly (no-strings-attached kind of) love—we run the risk of not being loved back; of being misunderstood. The apostle Paul loved the church at Corinth enough to tell them the truth—to confront them on an issue he could not ignore. He ran the risk of disturbing the peace, hurting their feelings by pointing it out and calling them to address it. He leaned forward in love, which meant being truthful. Some today equate “tolerance” with the love & grace of God, but are sadly mistaken. This episode (2 Cor 2-1-11) examines how to deal with overt, unrepentant sin in the church; with forgiveness and restoration in mind, NOT shooting our wounded or writing them off.
