The Marquee of a Real Church

Popular church literature has some interesting ideas on how you can spot a healthy church: cool building, techie website, hi-viz location, trendy name, full parking lot. Do you know what Jesus identified as the real sign of a strong church? One another love (John 13)! The problem is, loving one another is hard work - why bother? Peter echoes Jesus' command and backs it up with tree reasons why Christians must love one another; you were: i.) commanded to love, ii.) called to love, iii.) created to love. Love is a hard job - but someone has to do it, and that someone is you!
