In recent years, one of the fastest growing crimes has been identity theft.  Sadly, it seems that the Church of Jesus Christ has become a victim of this crime. According to John 13:34-35 (NKJV), Jesus says, “A new commandment I give to you, that you love one another; as I have loved you, that you also love one another. By this all will know that you are My disciples, if you have love for one another.”  Love for one another and not love for our jobs, money, or even our own families is the one characteristic that identifies us as being Christians.  Today reach out to a fellow church family member (someone who goes to Shiloh that you have not seen in church in awhile) and encourage them.  Be very nice, loving and say something in the conversation like: “I have been missing you. Do you think we can sit together at church next Sunday?” Remember don’t ask them where they have been or why they haven’t come to church!
