DDD: Welcome Like Jesus: The Power of Accepting One Another

Give me 7+ Minutes on your drive into work today  “Imagine if the public square actually changed because our hearts did first. In this devotional, we explore what it means to ‘accept one another as Christ accepted us’—not by excusing sin, but by extending grace, honor, and sacrificial love. You’ll discover how letting go of bitterness, serving others, and welcoming the ‘outsiders’ can transform your church, your community, and your own heart. Stay with me as we dive into Romans 15 and the ‘one another’ commands that can reshape how you live and lead today.”  This devotional from Pastor Brian Noble unpacks Romans 15:7 and the call to “accept one another just as Christ also accepted us to the glory of God.” It walks through multiple “one another” passages—devotion, honor, care, service, forgiveness, and encouragement—showing how Christ-like acceptance is rooted in grace, not in affirming sin or uniformity. The message challenges listeners to let go of bitterness, wrath, and slander, and instead pursue sacrificial love, open-hearted welcome, and encouragement within the body of Christ. The devotional ends with practical reflection questions and a prayer, urging believers to defend biblical values in the public square by first allowing God to transform their own hearts.  Donate Today - https://fpiw.bndlr.co/ [https://fpiw.bndlr.co/]  TAKE ACTION Don’t Just talk about it - DOWNLOAD The “WASHINGTON DEFENDER APP” today https://fpiw.org/washington-defender-app/ [https://fpiw.org/washington-defender-app/]

Give me 7+ Minutes on your drive into work today  When everything in the public square feels stacked against you—courts, laws, politics—have you forgotten where your real hope comes from?
