A Community of Love by Ps Michael Podhaczky

A Community of Love

How is your love life? Do you have a passionate love for God and those around you? Do you know that as part of the church of Jesus Christ, you are part of a community of love? However, did you know that bad posture can ruin your love life within the community of love? If this is the case, then you may need to improve your posture. You may be wondering how bad posture can ruin your love life, as it is usually judged to be good or bad for the position of the body parts. However, here, I have used it as your mental or spiritual attitudes and motives (1 Cor 12:31-14:1).

This type of love comes from God and not from people. Consequently, this kind of love can only be experienced when God gives it and those who have received it love in His way. Remember, here Paul is still dealing with the issue of spiritual gifts. He underscores the fact that these gifts are nothing without this God love. Whenever God community tries to have miraculous experiences without holiness; character that is infused and stirred by love, there will be trouble, confusion, and carnality.

This kind of love is God love choosing action, and not simply emotion. It involves treating people as God treats both you and them. Paul referred to some of the spiritual gifts mentioned in 1 Cor 12:8–10, revealing their hollowness without this kind of love. The Church as the community of love is growing into the image of Christ and needs to display this love. As a community, we are to love God and one another. Let me inspire you to hug His truth in love and practice the truth in love. 

Is your posture bad and ruining your love life, i.e. your mental or spiritual attitude or condition? You will need to improve your posture. What are you going to do to improve your posture, so that you have a very active and white-hot love life within the community of love.
