Love is spelt T.I.M.E.

Dave challenged us from Romans 12:13 to share with God's people who are in need and to practice hospitality by entertaining strangers.

Some excuses we use for not sharing with God’s people who are in need

· It’s mine. It belongs to me

· Why haven’t they got one of their own?

· I’ve got nothing to give or share

· There’s not enough for me as it is.

· What if there’s not enough to go around?

Some excuses we use for not entertaining Strangers

· I’m too busy

· I’ve got no space

· It’s not my calling

· They are not like us

· I’m scared. They might want to come every week

Homework!

Read Romans 12 & 13 with someone else. Try a different version of the Bible

1. Can you invite someone round this week or plan it in your diary?

2. Can you visit someone this week or at least phone to see if it’s convenient to call round?

3. What do you have that you could share. Do you have excess?

4. How about taking one of our CAP clients out for a coffee?

5. Find out what the needs are of someone else in the church.

Love is spelt Time. It can take just a few seconds, five minutes or an hour or two.

It takes a little time to be a Love Revolutionary.
