There is power in loving your church. The future of your church depends on how you care about it now. If you love your church, you will do all you can to see it succeed. It will cause you to actually do something progressive to help your church in its time of need. And yes, love hurts.
As a pastor, it breaks me to see failing moments occur in our churches. Whether it be programs not reaching their full potential, brothers and sisters in Christ struggling, or any other rift in our ministries; my love for progress and success through Christ in our churches motivates me to do all I can to help turn what seems bleak to a bright triumphant moment for our church.
