Listen Later

Explore how reexamining biblical love can transform our relationships, especially when facing disagreements or challenging situations. Mike Erre and Tim Stafford delve into common distortions of love within Christianity, discussing how to genuinely love others as Jesus taught—even when it's difficult.

Key Takeaways:

  • Love as Action, Not Just Emotion – Understanding that biblical love is demonstrated through actions, not merely feelings.
  • Commitment Before Correction – The importance of being committed to, with, and for others before attempting to guide them.
  • Reframing 'Speaking the Truth in Love' – Challenging the misconception that we must correct others before loving them.
  • Loving Without Agenda – How to love others without the need to first express disagreement or disapproval.
  • Practical Application in Tough Situations – Addressing ways to love family members who make choices we might not understand or agree with.

Resources Mentioned:

  • Scott McKnight's A Fellowship of Differents
  • Preston Sprinkle's Embodied
  • Ephesians 4
