Follow the way of love and eagerly desire gifts of the Spirit...1Cor.14:1

"Faithfulness" is persuasion-inspired and produces the noise of a persuasive lifestyle

Perseverance is a fruit

All the believers were one in heart and mind. No one claimed that any of their possessions was their own, but they shared everything they had. Acts 4:32 The joyful sharing of lives produces fertile soil for Kingdom amazement.

"You did not choose me, but I chose you and appointed you so that you might go and bear fruit—fruit that will last..." Jn.15:16

“A new command I give you: Love one another. As I have loved you, so you must love one another. By this everyone will know that you are my disciples, if you love one another.” Jn.13:34-35

"Whoever wants to be my disciple must deny themselves and take up their cross and follow me." Mk.8:34 The story of Jesus is filled with love and power, and he's inviting us to inhabit it with him. But, let's be honest, we need a lot of help if we want to live the way he does. What's his secret?
