In a tense moment, Jesus reassures his disciples, who will soon falter in their faith, that love and obedience are about maintaining a relationship rather than achieving flawless compliance. He promises not to abandon them, emphasizing that their connection endures despite imperfections. This promise shapes how we relate to each other in love.
The Church is not a Sanctuary for an Alcoholic
Even if an alcoholic in recovery is completely transparent about their recovery, no setting can be described as safe. And I know this because I feel that my recovery has been threatened in the church.
