Invitation to Love
The Spirit Gives Us the Courage
Live…your new life in the…Spirit
Galatians 5:16 NLT
While remaining grateful for the good things we have received and loyal to family and social group, we recognize that such loyalty is not an absolute.
We try to improve unhealthy or unjust situations in our family or community instead of clinging to a naive loyalty that refuses to see defects or
fails to suggest improvements or corrections that should be made. We have the freedom to remain within our tradition or institution, while at the
same time working for its renewal. We do what we can to improve family, church, or social institutions without demanding results or expecting
to see the fruits of our labors. The spirit gives us courage to make our personal response to Christ, rather than one that is based
on what others say, do, or expect. (IL, 107)
Ephesians 4:23-25 NLT
There must be spiritual renewal of your thoughts and attitudes. You must display a new nature because you are a new person,
created in God’s likeness---righteous, holy, and true. So put away all falsehood and "tell your neighbor the truth" because we belong to each other.
