Description
It was the last wish of Jesus. And His final command is a clarion call for our church today. "Love one another. "If we would be His true followers, Jesus says, we must love the world as He has loved it. But do we? In this profoundly moving book, author, evangelist and pastor Dwight Nelson asks the probing question: Are we a loving people? Or, like the Pharisees, are we choking on camels of prejudice and partiality-while neglecting justice and mercy? Is our church a hospital for sinners, or a museum for "saints"? While we preach obedience to the Ten Commandments, do we disobey the eleventh? With memorable illustrations and a powerful new parable for a new millennium, Nelson shows us:
*The secrets of abiding in Christ and reflecting His love to a suffering world desperate need.
*How the judgment revolves around showing love, not knowing the truth about love.
*How the eleventh commandment applies to an AIDS patient, an unwed mother, a drug addict, and even a convicted sex offender.
Internalize these concepts and let this book launch you our of your comfort zone into a radical new way of living and loving!
