Pray that we will be like Christ and love the church Eph (5v25) by making these 7 love agreements with the church.
“A love agreement depends solely on one heart to make it work”
1. - FAITHFULNESS.
I will be faithful to my church at all times and in all circumstances.
2. - PATIENCE.
I will not try to change things about my church that I do not like but will modify my behaviours that annoy my fellow believers.
3. - FORGIVENESS.
When I have offended others in church, I will quickly ask forgiveness. And I will forgive my church’s offenses in my heart even before being asked.
4. - SERVICE.
I will anticipate my church’s spiritual, emotional, physical, and material needs and will do everything I can to meet them.
5. - RESPECT.
I will not act or speak in a way that demeans, ridicules, or embarrasses my church.
6. - KINDNESS.
I will be kind to my church, eliminating any trace of meanness from my behaviour and speech.
7. - CELEBRATION.
I will appreciate my church’s gifts and attributes and celebrate them personally and publicly.
