Resurrection Life Church
We are a society that loves to look in on stuff but not necessarily get involved. We like to investigate but not always to invest; our time, money, resources, etc... If we truly want to make a difference and/or have authentic relationships we are going to have to get beyond investigating and start investing.
-What’s your LOVE investment portfolio worth?
-Our success isn’t measured in dollars or being right, it’s measured in love.
- None of love’s commands can be fulfilled in isolation.
-We know more about people than we know people
-God’s heart is not for us to merely “investigate” but invest
