    I don’t know what to do with statistics like those. If we were changed as a people I would celebrate. It seems to me that larger churches don’t answer the basic questions I hear people asking – how do I live in relationship with those around me? That is the heart of the gospel.

    Love is the greatest gift you can give someone. 1st or 2nd Corin. chapter 13 explains what will love is. But in order unleash its fruits you must have an understanding of who christ is and what He has done on the cross for you and me. Its only thru Him that we move and breath let alone loving soneone who even hurts us. By yourself it is impossible to achieve but thru ChrisT working thru you all things are possible. TO understand Christ we also need to be reading His word daily and asking Him guidance and understanding so as to apply it in our life especially people around us. You wont do it perfectly all the time but if your intent is to love and care for others He will give your the wisdom to accomplish His purposes
