Offense is an obstacle to love. And the cost of unresolved offense is great. For this cause, God takes it very seriously. No matter your personality, the prescription for resolution is universal. God is the resource and reason for loving others. Matthew 5:21-47
The Necessity of Resolving Offense | Vertical Living: [08]
Matthew 5:21-47
What is your love story as it pertains to love for God? Jesus said, the sincerity of your love for God is on display in the record of your actions toward the person in your life you find hardest to love. As followers of Christ we do this willingly and gladly. And while love is not the only thing that matters – it is the method to accomplish everything that does.

Matthew 26:14-16, 27:57-60; 1 Corinthians 4:1-2
A major struggle for many of us? Money. And the root is something the Jesus Himself had a lot to say about.
The truth is, God doesn’t just deserve a part of our lives, including our money. Because everything we have is His.
As we start this 6-part series, God’s Money, get ready to view money God’s way and grow into freedom from financial bondage.
You cannot live – really live – until you love God. Love to live! And you cannot really love God unless that shows up in your loving of one another. Loving other people adds logs on the fire of personal revival and personal love for God.
In fact, the two are so closely interrelated that God is not interested in our expressions of love when we have hatred in our hearts toward another person – especially another one of His children, and most especially those of God’s family who are hardest of all to love. There are things about the Lord you will not comprehend until you are growing in love.
In Vertical Living, God will take you to the mat with the full weight of all that He is. Watch and learn how to LOVE2LIVE2LOVE.

Matthew 22:37-40
There are no enduring relationships without forgiveness.
If you think you have the right to withhold forgiveness it is because you have not properly calculated the debt of sin owed to a Holy God. Even when it’s hard… Even when it’s hurtful… Forgiven people forgive people. You might be surprised what Jesus said hangs in the balance when it comes to forgiveness.
Forgive without limit…THIS is what we do.
