In his new book Until Unity, New York Times best-selling author Francis Chan tells listeners that the real problem is shallow or even nonexistent love for each other. Doctrine is necessary, but it is not the solution. Because when you’re wildly in love with someone, it changes everything. Many seek reassurance or perceived unity by creating doctrinal statements, but that misses the point. And once you encounter His love, as Francis describes it, you will never be the same. Because the answer to religious complacency isn’t working harder at a list of do's and don'ts - it's falling in love with God.
God is calling you to a passionate love relationship with Himself. Does something deep inside your heart long to break free from the status quo? Are you hungry for an authentic faith that addresses the problems of our world with tangible, even radical, solutions? Whether you’ve verbalized it yet or not, we all know something’s wrong. And what is our typical response? We go to church, sing songs, and try not to cuss. The God of the universe - the Creator of nitrogen and pine needles, galaxies and E-minor - loves us with a radical, unconditional, self-sacrificing love.
Have you ever wondered if we’re missing it? It’s crazy, if you think about it. The book of James speaks to the realities of a living faith in Jesusthe kind of roll-up-your-sleeves and get-your-hands-dirty discipleship that is borne.
