So maybe the problem in the church is not conflict, but lovelessness?

Boy how this thought has caused me to think this week.
Lovelessness : Characterized by an absence of love. Many times we like each other but loving someone has been perverted by the culture. We are commanded to love each other as in Philippians 2: 2 "Agree with each other, love each other, be deep-spirited friends." Christ reminds us in John 13:34 (NIV) "A new command I give you: Love one another. As I have loved you, so you must love one another." John MacArthur Study Bible notes, "Believers are to love others in the body of Christ equally-not because they are all equally attractive, but by showing the same kind of sacrificial, loving service to all that was shown to them by Christ." Deep Spirited Friends, JMSB notes, "united in spirit and perhaps is a term coined by Paul. It lit. means one-souled and describes people who are knit together in harmony, having the same desires, passions and ambitions. one mind. Intent on one purpose is an alternative translation."

Verse 3 -4 "Don’t be selfish; don’t try to impress others. Be humble, thinking of others as better than yourselves. 4 Don’t look out only for your own interests, but take an interest in others, too."

Please continue seeking God in prayer as you go along this week.
