400 Days Saved - A Walk with Christ 
*Six Ways to Love*
"They will know you are Christian by your love." John 13:35

It has been a crazy busy week filled with all sorts of emotions. Our country is facing so many challenges with this 2016 debate coming to a close. I see many people arguing with each other on their threads. As we try to cool off from all the religious tension, we can look at Pauls's six key points on how to properly live this life and show love through the battles! 

Remember Paul use to be Saul. His heart was changed by seeing Jesus in a white light. This is no fable but a very real story. As Paul sat in prison, because of preaching about Jesus, he had six key things that he wanted us all to know. 

  1. Settle Disagreements.
  2. Rejoice in the Lord Always. 
  3. Be known for your gentleness. 
  4. Don't Worry - Just Pray 
  5. Fix your thoughts on holy things.         
  6. Learn Contentment 

In the letter written from Paul, he then shared that people will know we belong to Jesus and are his people by the way we love! 
The Challenge: 
In these challenging times everyone has their opinion but for some people these battles can really leave a mark! Maybe just maybe being a right fighter and working to win every argument just is not worth the pain it can inflict onto your neighbor. We need more compassion in the world right now! We need more love and we need to show to whom we belong!
