Where Do We Draw the Line?

from NewChurch Live Hosted by NewChurch LIVE

Where Do We Draw the Line? Love Beyond the Lines We know it’s important to speak and act from principle and to set clear boundaries; but how do we balance that with compassion, empathy, humility, and forgiveness? Scripture is full of rigid rules and regulations, often coming with harsh consequences—Yet Jesus teaches and models unconditional love, awesome compassion, deep understanding and forgiveness! How can we hold both of these truths simultaneously and not draw fuzzy lines? What does it look like to love beyond the lines—after the line has been crossed? “This they said, tempting him, that they might have reason to accuse him. But Jesus stooped down, and with his finger wrote on the ground, as though he heard them not.” (John 8:6) with Alan Cowley 5/10/26 If you enjoyed this episode, be sure to Subscribe and review our podcast wherever you get your podcasts.
