What if the Church Loved?
Thursday, 17 September, 2026
What if love is not simply one Christian virtue among many, but one of the load-bearing walls of the faith itself?In Week 1 of What If the Church ________?, we look at the difference between the things Christians have often treated as essential and the things Jesus actually places at the center. From organs, pianos, pews, worship styles, and other pieces of church “furniture,” we turn to the question underneath all of it: What can change, and what absolutely cannot?Jesus says the whole Law and Prophets hang on loving God and loving our neighbor. John says that anyone who claims to love God while refusing to love others is a liar. Paul says that even extraordinary faith, knowledge, generosity, and sacrifice amount to nothing without love.So what would happen if the church stopped treating love as decoration and began treating it as load-bearing? What would our communities, disagreements, relationships, and witness look like if we actually learned to love one another, our neighbors, and even our enemies as Jesus loved us?
