Love is not a gift, it's a baton


Listen Later

LOVE IS NOT A GIFT IT’S A BATON…based on the parable of the unmerciful servant who received mercy but didn’t pass it on … once batons become owned love stops flowing…we are carriers of the baton of love, grace, mercy and forgiveness not keepers… church history has been the erratic story of a church that’s either passed the baton on or kept and warehoused it.

Nobody owns the baton

Batons can’t be handled twice

Batons can’t be dropped

Batons are passed in motion

Batons must be passed in a zone.. delayed passing like delayed love is a fail.

Selective love

Controlling love

Conditional love

Protected love

Manipulative love

Coercive love … are not valid batons.

WE ARE SERVANTS OF THE BATON and few things make God as angry as when people who’ve received his love, mercy, grace and forgiveness…don’t pass it on.
