Thank God for his instruction that we build up the body of the church by loving one another unconditionally and by lifting up every person, without exception! If that's not the church you know, you will want to check out this passage in Acts to see what the first followers of Jesus did and what may be different from what we are doing now.

Questions and comments are always welcome. Post them or email [email protected]
