What I would like to see posted in a church entranceway:
We are trauma informed.
We connect before we correct.
We believe in restoration, not punishment.
Love comes from understanding, not judgement.
The word tempers our behavior toward the sinner, it does not condemn them.
All of us need one another, always.
The church is a place for healing, not warfare.
[Christopher Gregory]

John 13:35 ... By this shall all men know that ye are my disciples, if ye have love one to another.
Romans 12:10 ... Be kindly affectioned one to another with brotherly love; in honour preferring one another;
1 Thessalonians 4:9 ... But as touching brotherly love ye need not that I write unto you: for ye yourselves are taught of God to love one another. ❤
