How to Have a More Loving Church, and Why It’s So Vital



One of the most important factors for the growth of your church, of any church, of the kingdom for that matter, is how loving we are as Christians. It’s absolutely essential that we lead our churches to be love-filled communities. It’s love that reaches people. You don’t argue people into the kingdom of heaven. You love them into the kingdom of heaven.
How do you have a loving church? Three steps:
1. Accept everybody.
Have you ever been in a church of spiritual snobs? We get it and you don’t. Do you know why people have a hard time accepting others? They confuse acceptance with approval. There’s a big difference between acceptance and approval. You can accept somebody without approving of his lifestyle. He may be doing something totally contrary to the word of God, but you can accept him as a person without approving of the sin he’s involved in.
Romans 15:7 says, “Accept one another just as Christ accepted you.” That’s a start — acceptance. At Saddleback we are trying to cultivate an attitude of acceptance. At Saddleback, we communicate that the church is a hospital for sinners, not a hotel for saints. If you’re perfect, you don’t belong here. This is a church where people are growing. This is a church for people who don’t have it all together. We have every kind of background you can imagine in this church. We’ve got Catholics, Charismatics, Jews, Buddhists, Baptists, Presbyterians, Episcopalians, Lutherans, Assembly of God, Pentecostal, Evangelical Free, nothing and atheists. It doesn’t matter where you’ve been. It matters where you are now and if you know Jesus. If you want to grow up more and become more like Him every day, you’re welcome here.
2. Appreciate everybody.
This goes a little bit further than acceptance. Philippians 2:35 says, “Do nothing from selfish ambition or vain conceit, but in humility consider others better than yourself. Each of you should look not only to your own interest but also the interest of others.” Appreciate everybody. Find something you can like, not just accept. Tell them so. With some people this may require a little creativity. You may have to look a little while. Maybe you just need to value them for their uniqueness. What a boring church we would be if we all shared the same personality!
3. Affirm everybody.
Give everybody a lift whenever you can. I Thess. 5:11 says, “Encourage one another and build each other up.” When people stumble, don’t criticize, sympathize. Be an encourager, not a condemner. You can encourage people just by smiling at them. The ministry of greeters in your church is crucial and vital. You only have one chance to make a first impression. Cover your campus with people who love the Lord and who show it in their faces. Give a welcome handshake, a smile.

Absolutely nothing can stop the church that’s filled with love. Nothing. It doesn’t happen accidentally. It requires an all out effort by each member of your congregation. Everybody needs to contribute to the atmosphere of the church. Love draws outside people in. I believe that God is just waiting for a church that will love people unconditionally. He can use that kind of church to spark a spiritual awakening in your city that all the forces of hell couldn’t stop. It would change the climate of your community for Christ. Nothing can stop a loving church.

This Man Is Dating Someone Even Though He’s Married. Sounds Disgusting, But I’m On His Side.


January 13, 2014Other Stuff
Jarrid Wilson is a husband, pastor, author, and blogger. And he has a confession that has everyone talking lately. You’ll see why below.
couple
On Jarrid’s blog post titled, “I’m Dating Someone Even Thought I’m Married,” he writes:
“I have a confession to make. I’m dating someone even though I’m married.
She’s an incredible girl. She’s beautiful, smart, cunning, strong, and has an immensely strong faith in God. I love to take her out to dinner, movies, local shows, and always tell her how beautiful she is. I can’t remember the last time I was mad at her for longer than five minutes, and her smile always seems to brighten up my day no matter the circumstances.
Sometimes she will visit me at work unannounced, make me an incredible lunch, or even surprise me with something she personally baked. I can’t believe how lucky I am to be dating someone even though I am married. I encourage you to try it and see what it can do for your life.
Oh! Did I mention the woman I am dating is my wife? What did you expect?
Just because you’re married, doesn’t mean your dating life should end.
I need to continue to date my wife even after I marry her. Pursuing my wife shouldn’t stop just because we both said, “I do.” Way too many times do I see relationships stop growing because people stop taking the initiative to pursue one another.
Dating is a time where you get to learn about someone in a special and unique way. Why would you want that to ever stop? It shouldn’t. Those butterflies you got on the first date shouldn’t stop just because the years have passed. Wake up each day and pursue your spouse as if you are still on your first few dates. You will see a drastic change for the better in your relationship.
When it comes to any relationship, communication and the action of constant pursuit is key. Nobody wants to be with someone who doesn’t want to pursue them whole-heartedly.
I encourage you to date your spouse, pursue them whole-heartedly, and understand that dating shouldn’t end just because you said, “I do.”

I Love You


The words "I love you" have the power to change lives. They certainly changed the life of my favorite uncle, Jack. He was a wonderful man who took care of my mother, Rebecca, when she grew older and needed help. I was grateful for him and always told him so.

Unfortunately, he didn’t think much of himself and had a difficult time accepting that people truly appreciated and respected him. He always kept his distance. When his wife died, he retreated further into himself, feeling as if God had rejected him.

I would tell him, "Jack, I just love you." But he would always respond, "Now Charles, no you don’t. You don’t really love me." No matter what I said, he could not believe I genuinely cared for him. It was as if he thought, Why would you love me? I’m no one and have nothing.
But I wasn’t willing to give up. I told myself, I will keep praying, and one of these days, I’m going to get through to him.
 
I can still recall where I was standing when it finally happened. Years had passed, but as always, I said, "Jack, I just love you." He said, "Charles, I love you, too." It still brings tears to my eyes to remember it, because once he was able to overcome his feelings of rejection, everything about him changed. He even started hugging me. As soon as he stopped depriving himself of the love, admiration, and respect people wanted to show him, he became a totally different person—one who experienced true acceptance and joy.

Everyone enjoys being told they are loved. But as I write this letter, I wonder if some of you hear it enough. Perhaps you feel like my Uncle Jack did, battling constant thoughts of, I am not worthy of being loved. I’ve been rejected so often, there is no way anyone could possibly want or respect me. Maybe you know someone who thinks, No one really cares about me. I’m useless. It is likely he or she feels this way because of being hurt or rejected in the past.
Rejection is painful, piercing to the core of who we are, and consequences can be devastating. We can become materialistic, bitter, critical, and unloving; feel inferior and suspicious of others; isolate ourselves; suffer from depression or other health problems; or even turn to addictive things such as alcohol, drugs, gambling, or sexual immorality in an attempt to numb our pain.
So what can we do if we are struggling with feelings of rejection? Where can we turn?

There is One who is always calling your name and saying, "I just love you." In fact, your heavenly Father says it every moment of every day. He does so through His call to salvation (Rom. 5:8). But He also demonstrates His unfailing devotion after you accept Jesus as Savior by sealing you with His Holy Spirit forever (Rom. 5:5). His love for you is strong and unfailing. That is why Romans 8:38-39 asserts, "Neither death, nor life, nor angels, nor principalities, nor things present, nor things to come, nor powers, nor height, nor depth, nor any other created thing, will be able to separate us from the love of God, which is in Christ Jesus our Lord." 


God knows exactly what you need to set you free from feelings of worthlessness and rejection. And He faithfully provides three essential components that are required for you to enjoy a healthy self-image—belonging, worth, and competence.

First, the Father knows you need to be part of something important, so He proclaims that you belong to His family. The apostle John praises Him for this, saying, "See how great a love the Father has bestowed on us, that we would be called children of God; and such we are" (1 John 3:1). He chose you, invited you to be part of His family, and has given you gifts that are essential to all the other members of the church. You are accepted, wanted, and needed. Truly, you belong. 


Second, the Lord understands that you need to know you are valued, so He declares you worthy of His love. Think about what Jesus did: "For the joy set before Him" He "endured the cross, despising the shame" (Heb. 12:2). What was the joy set before Him? It was a relationship with you. He sacrificed everything—comfort, dignity, and even His life—because He deemed you more important than all of this. Assuredly, you are worthy.

Third, God realizes that you need to feel competent, so He promises to help you succeed in whatever task He gives you. The Lord empowers you to do everything He calls you to achieve through the help of His indwelling Holy Spirit. No matter what challenges or obstacles you experience, you know your "adequacy is from God" (2 Cor. 3:5), and He will never let you down. He empowers you to succeed. 


I hope you will let go of your feelings of rejection and open your heart to the love the Father has lavished on you. When He says, "I love you," He doesn’t just change your life, He transforms your eternity. You belong to His family, you are worthy of His care, and He helps you succeed in whatever task He gives you. Seek Him daily and listen as He calls your name in love. Accept His truth, my friend, because He certainly accepts you.

Ziangkim ah kan thatnak hrangah Pathian in hna a tuan

   

Rom 8:28. Ziangkim ah kan thatnak hrangah Pathian in hna a tuan. 

Zumtu pawl cu kan hrangah Pathian in a thabik in remruahsak timi ruahsannak in hmailam ah feh sin theinak thazaang kan nei. Zumtu pawl in harsatnak kan ton tikah, tihhrut le thanau in um lo in, thin hnangam te ih um ding kan si ziangahtile Pathian cu kan tthatnak hrangah hna a tuan ringringtu a si (Rom 8:28). Kan hmailam khal kan hrangih thatnak a tuahtu Pathian kut sungah a um ruangah kan hna a ngam theinak a si.[110]
Asinan, himi harsat lai caan ih hnangamnak neitu kan si theinak dingah, thu pahnih a tul. Pakhatnak, Pathian a duhdawttu si a tul; pahnihnak, Pathian ih kawhmi si a tul. Pakhatnak ah, Pathian a duhdawtu pawl cu zo an si? Pathian a duhdawtu pawl cu Pathian ih duhdawtnak a theitu le a zumtu pawl tinak a si (1 Cor. 2:9; 8:3; Eph. 6:24). Pathian kan duhdawt zet lawngah Pathian in kan hrangah thil tha a tuah ding tinak a si lo. Zumtu pawl cu Pathian ih duhdawtnak theitu le zumtu kan si zo ruangah, Pathian kan rinsan ih kan duhdawt ve. Pathian ih duhdawtnak kan zum ngam lo ahcun, kan hrangah Pathian in a thabik in in remruah sak timi kan zum thei dah lo ding. Curuangah, Pathian ih duhdawtnak theitu taktak si a tulnak a si.
Pahnihnak ah, Pathian ih kawhmi pawl teh zo an si? Pathian in a duhdawtnak thuthangtha phuannak le simnak in zozo khal rundamnak pe dingah a ko theh (2 Thes. 2:13t).[111] Asinan, a sunlawinak le thluasuah phunkim co termi pawl cu Pathian ih duhdawtnak thuthangtha a thei ih a zumtu pawl an si (1 Thes. 1:4t). Mi hmuahhmuah in Khrih ih sunlawinak an co thei lo. A zumtu lawng a co ter a si. Curuangah, zumtu pawl cu Pathian ih duhdawtnak a thei ih a duhdawt ve tu kan si bang in, Pathian in Khrih ih sunlawinak ttawmtu ding ih kawhmi khal kan si. Pahtian ih kawhmi kan sinak hi kan mah in Pathian kan duhdawt thiam hlan in Khrih sung in tumtahnak le duhdawtnak tumpi thawn Pathian in in ruahcia ih in ko zo. Cuih duhdawttu kan nei timi thuthangtha cun Pathian in duhdawt ter ve. Curuangah, zumtu pawl ih kan hnangamnak hrampi cu kanmah in Pathian kan duhdawt thiam hlan in, Pathian in I duhdawt ih, I ko zo timi hi a si.[112] Tahthimnak thazet cu, Fapa tlaan hlo pa kha reipi a tlaan hlo ih, a sualral hnu ah a kirsal ngamnak kha I duhdawttu ka Pa a um timi a theimi thu a si. A kirsal tikah, fapa sinak sunglawi zet ih co ter a sinak kha amaih felnak le a pa a duhdawt theinak par ah a si lo. Cem thei lomi duhdawtnak thawn a duhdawtu le a hrang ih thatnak a ruat ringringtu a pa ih duhdawtnak le zaangfahnak ruangah a si. Asinan, amah hrimhrim in ka pa in I cohlang ko ding timi zumnak thawn a kir sal cu a tul tengteng (Luke 15:11-24). Kir hlah sehla, ziangtluk in a pa in a duhdawt hman ah a siat ral ta ding.  
Rom 8:28 hi minung tampi in an simfiang tikah, an simfiang puan tuk theu. Thuthimnak ah, mi pakhat in hnatuan tha zet in baan ter a si tikah, na thinphang hlah. Pathian in na hrangah a tha sawnmi a retmi a um si ding tiah tha an pek. A sual lo asinan lei tisa thilri lam lawng zoh in kan hnem. Fala tlangval an phiat awk tikah, “Na riah sia hlah, hi hnak ih tha deuh Pathian in a lo pe ding” tiah kan ti theu. A sual lo asinan, lei tisa nun daan thu lawng in thazaang kan pe. Cumi tlun ah kan bet dingmi cu Pathian in a sunlawinak hrangah thuk deuh le nasa deuh ih a tumtah ruangah a si timi kan bet cih a tul. Ziangtikah Pathian a sunglawi? Zumtu pawl in a fapa Jesuh Khrih bang in kan lungput le ziaza pawl hi a si tikah Pathian cu a sunglawi a si. Cumi hi Pathian in kan hrang ih a tumtah bikmi khal a si (Rom 8:29). A hlan vek ih sumpai hlawhnak hnatuan tha kan nei nawn lo thei men. Nupi le pasal nei nawn lo tla in kan um thei men. Asinan, Pathian cun, cuvek hnatuan le innsang dinhmun in kan tuah baan thei lomi Pathian ih duhnak le hnatuan a tuantu, a tuahtu dingah si ter in duh a si thei.
Curuangah, Rom 8:28 sungih Pathian in kan hrangah ziangkim a tha bik in rem in ruah sak tiah a ti tikah, a sim duhmi cu, zumtu kan hrangah Pathian in lei tisa ih kan saduhthah a kim ringring a tinak a si lo. Kan parih a thlengmi pawl hi a tha theh lo ding asinan cumi pawl a hmang ding ih Pathian in a sunglawimi a nunnak cotu dingah le langh tertu dingah in tuah ding. Kan thatnak hrangah a remthat thei lomi thil zianghman Pathian in kan parah a thlen ter dah lo ding tinak a si. Tongdan cun, Pathian in kan nunnak ah amaih saduhthah kim ter sawn dingah hna a tuan a si.
