Loving God By Loving Our Neighbor
Bruxy Cavey, author, and pastor of The Meeting House, dives into relational faith, loving God through loving our neighbor, repenting with a hopeful future focus, how doubt is connected to our faith, how we are not people of the book (bible) we are people of the person (Jesus), and three perspectives on hell concluding with the fact that the New Testament church never leveraged hell to get people to make a decision for Jesus.

“Jesus was no theologian He was just God who told stories.” Madeleine L’Engle
“There are people who will hurt other people to show how much they love God…they will boast in their love of God by doing damage to people around them…”
“A new command I give you, just love others as I love you.”
“No longer is it love God and love your neighbor, now it’s love God by loving your neighbor. That is our faith.”
“Meditation, prayer, bible study, going to church all play back up to the band…the soloist in the band of Christian faith is loving others really, really well. Even our enemies…we love our neighbors we love or enemies, there’s no one left not to love in the spirituality of Jesus.”
“More often than not He uses the word repent to change the way we think about the coming Kingdom. ‘The Kingdom is at hand, repent and hear the good news.’ He attaches it (repent) to what’s coming, not what happened before; to what we should be hopeful about not, what we should be ashamed about.”
“They worshiped him but some doubted…It’s this group of doubting worshipers that Jesus trusts the future of the church to.”
“We read the book, study the book, we love the book, we memorize the book, we meditate on the book, so that we can get to know the Person, not just so we can get to know the book. Unless we make that final maneuver to see Jesus as the Word of God, we’re doing it wrong.”
“Jesus is the authoritative inerrant, infallible Word of God and scripture is the inspired gift of the Spirit to lead us to Jesus.”
“Hell is never used by the New Testament church in their evangelistic presentations to try and get people to accept Jesus as their Lord and Savior.”
“Threats don’t help a love relationship… So even if hell does work (to get people to make a decision for Jesus) it works for the wrong reasons.”
