Main PointsTo love each other the way Jesus loved His disciples means we must accept one another, just as Christ accepted us, in order to bring glory to God!
Dr. Larry Crabb – Connecting, page 66: “Connecting is a kind of relating that happens when the powerful life of Christ in one person meets the good life of Christ in another. What every Christian can pour into another is the powerful passion of acceptance, a passion that flows out of the center of the gospel, a passion that fills the heart of God.”

ConnectDo you long to be connected to other people? Do you find yourself getting close but then you don’t know how to break through? Do you feel like there’s an invisible wall between you and other people but you don’t know why? Chip reveals how to connect deeply with others and how to have them connect deeply with you.
Main PointsDr. Larry Crabb: “Imagine what could happen if God were to place within his people intangible nutrients that had the power to both prevent and reverse soul disease and then told us to share those nutrients with each other in a special kind of intimate relating called connection. Imagine what could happen if that were true, if we believed it, and if we devoted ourselves to understanding what those nutrients were and how we could give them away. I envision a community of people who intentionally mingle in settings where these nutrients are passed back and forth, where I pour into you the healing resources within me and you pour into me what God has put in you. Like spiritual gifts, these nutrients only nourish our own souls as we give them away for the blessing of others. In recent days, I have made a shift. I am now working toward the day when communities of God’s people, ordinary Christians whose lives regularly intersect, will accomplish most of the good that we now depend on mental health professionals to provide. And they will do it by connecting with each other in ways that only the gospel makes possible.”
Question: What is this “better way” and how does it work?
God’s Answer: “Be devoted to one another in brotherly love.” --Romans 12:10
What keeps us from experiencing this authentic devotion one to another?
