LOVE VS LOVE
“Romantic love is blind to everything except what is lovable and lovely, but Christ’s love sees us with terrible clarity and sees us whole. Christ’s love so wishes our joy that it is ruthless against everything in us that diminishes our joy. The worst sentence Love can pass is that we behold the suffering that Love has endured for our sake, and that is also our acquittal. The justice and mercy of the judge are ultimately one.”

This website “ekklesia Chicago” came to exist out of interaction with other people needing to find true meaning in our walk with Christ.
Most everything found here relates, in one way or another, to our being God’s people.
I will share evidence in support of beliefs that I came to accept as true. Beliefs that for others was new or different. Because some of these beliefs went against what they had always heard or what people in our fellowship had traditionally believed, some had difficulty accepting them as truth even though they did not refute the evidence on which I based my beliefs. I do not hesitate in saying that I make no claim of having a perfect understanding of everything knowable about God and His will for us. I can accept people who do not believe as I do in areas that are not essential to our salvation. What troubles me is when people who make profession of following Christ are intolerant of brethren who differ with them to the extent that it affects both their ability to receive each other as fellow heirs of salvation and their influence with the world.
