Command: Love one another
|
I know that some people are getting tired of hearing me preach about love. They think that love is too weak or too woke of a concept. And to listen to those in power in the United States, love is supposed to be reserved for our closest family and friends.
|
This Sunday, we have a Gospel passage that makes it obvious to everyone that we are to love one another. Jesus wanted it to be so clear that he called it a command. He commanded us to love one another.
|
Unlike those who claim to be Christians in our world today, Jesus did not put an asterisk next to that command. He did not say:
|
- Love only your friends
- Love only those who look like you
- Love only those who are the same religion as you
- Love only those who speak the same language as you
- Love only those who have the same skin color as you
We cannot continue to claim to be Christians and ignore the simple truths of Jesus’ messages. In a world full of hatred and darkness, we must be willing to stand up for love. We must be willing to show love to everyone we meet.
|
I pray you will join us on this journey to follow the teachings of the Christ.

Our Parish Outreaches
Human First Outreach
This ministry focuses on providing food and toiletry supplies to the homeless in the Augusta, Georgia area. We provide feminine hygiene products to those that need them and food for the pets of our homeless friends and family.
|
We are working to bring a human touch to this ministry as we encourage volunteers to engage with the individuals we are helping in a compassionate and loving way. We expect all volunteers to refrain from proselytizing and preaching to those we serve. Instead, take a hint from Hamilton “talk less, listen more”.
