The
church is to be a loving church in a dying culture. How, then, is the
dying culture going to consider us? Jesus says,
“By this shall all men
know that ye are my disciples, if ye have love one to another.” In the
midst of the world, in the midst of our present culture, Jesus is
giving a right to the world. Upon His authority He gives the world the
right to judge whether you and I are born-again Christians on the basis
of our observable love toward all Christians.
(Francis A. Schaeffer, The Mark of The Christian,
The Standard of Quality section)
This weekend has been a reassurance for me to be with such an amazingly loving group. Thank you for being His disciples.
