Rev. Lionel L. Bailey Season 3 Episode 72

Thanks for listening. I appreciate your support. Say hi and let me know you enjoyed the episode. Also, suggest topics for a future episode.

How do we embody the teachings of Jesus in our lives, especially in a world often divided by politics and differing lifestyles? This episode is a deep reflection on how the fruit of the spirit—love, patience, joy, forbearance, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, and gentleness—can manifest in our daily interactions and within our faith communities. We challenge the conventional boundaries of acceptance and inclusivity, urging listeners to contemplate the true essence of Christianity as a call to love and justice for all.

So, when Jesus always talked about how we show justice, how we demonstrate justice, how we demonstrate grace, how we demonstrate mercy, how we demonstrate this by having forgiveness, not retaliation. That the fruit of the spirit is. Watch this here we go love, patience, joy, forbearance, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness. When you're listening to people in your service, how does your congregation ethos or the way that they demonstrate their faith and community speak to? Love, patience, kindness, forgiveness, forbearance? If you have people who can't come to your church because they're same, gender, loving, or because they have a different political viewpoint, or you want to stand up and say I'm Republican versus Democrat, how is that demonstrating self-control? How is that demonstrating gentleness? How is that demonstrating kindness? How is that demonstrating goodness for all people?

It's important for us to get this concept down. How do we take the gospel of Jesus Christ and how do we live it out? How do we take the gospel of Jesus Christ and how do we live it out? How do we take the gospel of Jesus Christ and how do we live it out? Be faithful witnesses to what Jesus is calling us to do. I've been reading this book. It's called the Christian faith and social justice five views and by Vic McCracken, so you can. I'll have a link to that below. But yeah, I want you to guys to check that out and I want you to think about why is it that your churches are not catering to.
