thequest family,
Art. It's a creative thing. Where did it come from? I've got my bets on the "Creator" as introducing Art to our world. Art is an expression--for the musician in beautiful sounds, for the sculptor in metal or clay, for the painter with canvas and paint.
Art is an outward expression. It manifests itself in some way. A process and a product. The process and the product are both important. This is true in the Art of Loving. (oh and who by the way gave us Love?--I'm again betting on that "Creator"!) The process and the product are both important. You've got to LOVE in actions--that's process.
What's the product you may ask? I think Jesus told us--“Your love for one another will prove to the world that you are my disciples." John 13:35 (NLT) The product is proof.
This Sunday night, we'll have time to look at another expression of love--hospitality. We've all learned quite a bit about this, so we'll create some time in our discussion for everyone to share their thoughts about hospitality. So come ready to share what God has shared with you! (Check out the details below).
Speaking of hospitality, I was SO encouraged this week as one of our house churches took the time to have a social night. They cranked up some food and went to a local park and INVITED people to join them...and their was quite a crowd from what I hear. Those are actions of love...expressions of Jesus...and opportunities for Jesus to be named and honored.
I'm so privileged to be walking with you.
Press on in loving others,
Mike
