Truth In Love

Truth In Love

Speaking truth in love requires both courage and compassion, reflecting the heart of Christ as we seek to build one another up and grow toward Christ-likeness. Join in and listen to five of our Grace fellowship elders talk about how we can speak truth in love when navigating complex and sensitive topics regarding gender, sexual identity, community engagement and more. Together, let's consider what it means to engage these challenges biblically, helping believers grow in discernment and faithfulness in their walk with the Lord. These conversations occurred with three filters in mind … Attend - What does it mean for a believer to be present in situations where people reject God’s design? How can Christians engage without compromising our convictions? Approve - Does participation in a specific situation imply approval of actions or expressions that contradict God's Word? How do we honor truth while still showing love? Advocate - Are we being asked to actively promote or affirm something that goes against God's will? How do we stand firm without becoming unloving?
