Most of us have the instinct that a church won’t automatically develop a culture of love for God, his people, and his world. This book puts words to that instinct. Chapter 1 outlines the kinds of loving fellowship, discipleship, and mission we hope for in a church. Chapter 2 explores why these expressions of love generally don’t ‘just happen’, and why some common approaches to church — including Sunday gatherings and Bible studies — don’t necessarily foster a loving community. Chapter 3 makes some concrete suggestions for how better to promote love in church.
