Agapic Love

Discovering Agape Love

clipped from christhope.com Our Basic Theology and Spirituality is based on the 2000 year tradition of Jesus Christ, that God Is Love. We believe that every Human Person is capable of loving, as Jesus loved...unselfishly or agapically. We, therefore, invite all persons who desire to grow along the lines of unselfish love in their INTERPERSONAL-RELATIONSHIPS. SPIRITUALITY, IN OUR COMMUNITY, MEANS SHARING GOD'S LOVE WITH WHOM EVER WE ENCOUNTER NOW IN THIS WORLD THE BEST WAY WE CAN IMPERFECT AS THAT MAY BE. THE WORD "GOD' MEANS LOVING OTHERS AS JESUS LOVED. All Persons are welcome to our Communion Table, and for those who wish it, we have General Absolution at every Mass. We are persons from diverse backgrounds. We are POSITIVE and not interested in old battles. We too are searching for more meaning in our lives, in our Interpersonal Relationships. So come around some Sunday and see what we are all about. We will, at least, give you a cup of coffee and a cookie.

Written Posts by John Piper :: Desiring God Blog: "The Glory of DG Is as Nothing September 20, 2007 | By: John Piper Category: Written Posts by John Piper, Commentary When I pray that Christ may increase and Desiring God may decrease what do I mean? I do not mean that I want God to help us have less influence in awakening a passion for the supremacy of Christ. Rather, I mean: Lord, help us more and more to magnify Christ in such a way that by comparison to the glory of Christ the glory of Desiring God is as nothing. And I mean: Lord, help us to delight in Christ more and more so that our joy would be in seeing him magnified NOT in being made much of because we may have helped that happen. Or to say it another way: Lord, spare us the insidious ego deception that we love God when really we love being told that we love God. Forbid that our being thanked is the bottom of our joy, rather than Christ being praised."

California Fire Victims

Wildfires Ravage Southern California: "Please pray for these people, that they would be spared from harm and further destruction. Pray for cooler weather and that the winds would subside, so the flames can be contained. And pray that God's Spirit would strengthen all who are sharing His mercy with those who have lost everything but their lives."
