Of all the negative descriptions of
agape-love Paul has given, this focus on a love that is “not irritable or
resentful,” seemed to apply to us all. For some reason, allowing ourselves to
feel irritated at interruptions, or resentful of longstanding problems, feels
almost justified rather than regretful.
In this home church video we explore why
the agape-love of the Bible requires God’s children to exchange the sarky
attitudes of irritability and resentment with a goodwill that flows from our
love relationship with God. We are quite sure we are not the only ones who need
help in this area!
Now, if you notice the hints that our home
church seemed to have a more humorous time than usual with this topic, it
wasn’t because we weren’t taking it seriously. Rather, it was because we all
knew it was hitting as close to home as anything, and a bit of
light-heartedness seemed to help the medicine go down, if you will.
