The Love That Uplifts
"They will know you're my disciples by this, that you love one another."
— IESUS CHRIST
What Is Love?
Love is the living force that Iesus described — the kind that identifies his people. It is not merely a feeling, nor a sentiment. It is the cooperation of people in uplifting one another.
To understand Iesus Christ is to understand what happens when human beings dedicate themselves to raising each other up. That is the Christ. That is Love.
Iesus Christ as Cooperation
We understand Iesus Christ as the cooperation of people in uplifting one another. His name is the name of what we do together when we lift each other.
Love That Is Known by Its Works
They will know you're my disciples by this — not by what you profess, not by doctrine alone, but by this: that you love one another.
Charity Comes First
No thing qualifies for love before charity. Before any theology, any argument, any qualification — we give. We serve. We feed. We lift.
Uplifting at No One's Expense
Our Love does not diminish anyone to elevate another. What can be greater than our love for one another? This is the question we live by.
"What can be greater than our love for one another?"

"Now you are the body of Christ, and members individually."
