Having Your Cake and Eating It Too?
Having Your Cake and Eating It Too?
Revelation 2: 1-7, 18-29
Speaker's Picture
Sunday Morning Service,  May 1, 2016
 

Some Christians and churches take a "you can't have your cake and eat it too" approach to the relationship between love and truth.  They can't seem to love while they stand for truth. However, the Scriptures clearly show that love and truth do coexist and must dwell together.  What is the true relationship of love and truth? What do believers and churches look like who hold to truth in a loving way? Revelation 2 proves three examples showing us that a Christ exalting church lovingly stands for truth.
