Loving the church, the true church founded by Jesus Christ, means putting the Gospel and furthering it above all else. It doesn't matter if we don't like someone in our circle of influence. It doesn't matter if people think they are our friends but we really don't feel that way. It matters not if we are wronged or falsely accused.
Anyone who tries to teach the truth of God's word will be falsely accused or wrongly interpreted.
Anyone who deals with other people, ever, will be wronged.
Sometimes we need to step back and evaluate just what our role is in a relationship or situation. It hurts when we realize that changes need to be made. It's often disappointing.
A comforting thought is that it is never wrong to love others and try to point them to the one true God. We do not need to be friends with people on our end, but we can be their friend.
Realistic expectations are essential to any relationship. (thanks, kc)
To God be the Glory.
Happy Election Day!
