What the Church Needs Now is Actual Love in the Sweet Truth of the Strength that Comes from God's Wise Scripture

Help the church according to the Scriptures out of our first duty in love, and then, if anything is left, help the World in love, though we don't have a duty to give them our money in the same *continuous*, daily way ("silver and gold have I none, but I'll give what I do have, 'in Jesus name' stand up and walk"). This might abut a fuzzy grey transition zone. Do according to your conscience. But overall understand that we aren't searching out the righteous widow with spiritual organizers to give for physical daily needs, AND we're not actually giving the Worldlings the gospel they need, but have traded psychological manipulation for clear declarations of the tiny simple straightforward gospel that they need.

If we have self-confidence that Christ has brought us to a place where we can freely function and work correctly, then if we are beyond having grudges and strifes against each other, then we'll find that we *can* work together outside of rule-based, goal-based, methods. Instead, we are free because we know truth and act according to our knowledge of reality that we all have authority in our own domain, and the prophet has authority to prophesy, and the helps to give help in our own way so long as it doesn't interfere with the authority of the others. If many prophets tried to stand up at once and override each other, the cacophony would lessen the right impact of that truth, because nobody could understand the words of God. We are each leaders and followers and lovers of each other, Christ Himself the Papa, the Head, then overseers and then deacons, for administration and care in everything the rest of Christ's body does.

If you smile at the newcomer and exchange names, that has almost nothing to do with anything, and it has a lot to do with a falsehood that being nice is being Christian. Just like we shouldn't show the World a false image of Christ and His Church as waiters of tables, but have organization to deal with practical concerns as a sub-field within the whole, we also should make it seem like inclusion and jocular name-knowing is the reason the World should get saved. A bloodless Christianity is Satanism, and it's no different from any pagan concepts of doing what's right to stay in God's good graces. At best it's weak and at worst it's a device to misguide the future Christian away from necessary understanding. It's not what the Bible teaches, but we have to teach the gospel of what we must believe and do for salvation in accordance with God's words. That's the power of God, and it's what we have to do with the outside first and foremost.

Our focus should be on loving others in truth, giving them what they need; the Worldlings what they need, and the Christian what we need. We hardly know each other's names, and we don't have much closeness; could I ask to sleep on someone's couch, or is there a lack of real closeness on even a trivial level?

Separate holily without being the World's friend and thus God's enemy, wicked Christian.

We're not bound by external law, but love with actual unfeigned faith in God's structure of living well with each other that He's given us in His Word, which neither we or our forebears have entirely followed, even when we ruled great swaths of the Earth for many centuries.

We often forget about what we know so we can stand to not do what we know is right. We've heard about the widow and standing up to prophesy one at a time; we've been given knowledge of who we are and what we can do and what scope our personal authority and our personal debt to each other is.

We have descriptions of love about how to talk to each other lovingly, even outside triage situations when we help the sibling out of sin. If we don't know how to help the sibling out of sin, like a back brace, because we think it's evil to interfere, then how can we go on to be even more truly kind in real love, actually? We have some example in familial relationships that even the World has been able to teach us; we don't do even that much with arbitrary churchgoers after years of bare acquaintanceship. It's pitiable.

We spend so much time talking about the same few things, confused by the World with their concepts, focused on what's not really offensive as though it is, such as women preachers in context of worldly feminism, hurting the sisters who started out in previous generations very happy with the right ways of living. But the World is in our view and we keep praying for the community when we mean the secular city instead of Christ's church as separate and strictly defined by God's Word.

Don't take away the opportunity of the sibling who has the gift to work together in Christian community. We should be able to outstrip the World in company-making with our gifts and knowledge of truth. There's no separation between your knowledge of Christ and your life on this Earth. You cannot separate yourself from the evil in the World, or you'd have to leave Earth, but separate from the Christians who aren't doing right according to Christ's Way, as He has objectively revealed to all of us as He's objectively revealed we should all follow our consciences in light of knowledge of Him to obey God and to love each other.

Amen.
