The elder in charge of the prayer
ministry at our church came to a realization that our love is given to
us by God and we love Him and others out of that resource. He told me
that people need to be able to receive love in order to give it. It was
such a revelation to him that he wrote it down and is taking the men's
prayer group in that direction. And these men aren't soft on sin at
all! There are many testimonies of deep confession and repentance at
the meetings he lead, stories of men breaking before the Lord and
changing forever. The pastors joke about needing to post a warning
label on our cell group pamphlet.
This is the verse we put on the
church website: We love because He first loved us. 1 John 4:19
Love,

Thank you for the explanation. Makes sense.
