A. Kindness.
Q. What is kindness with faith?
A. A chance to share the love of Christ.
When someone asks you why you are being kind, you can tell them it’s Christ’s commandment to love your neighbor.
Build your life and your church — your goodness, your kindness, your brotherly love, your outreach — on the bedrock of faith and your efforts will produce fruit for the Kingdom of God.
2 Peter 5-8 says:
Make every effort to add to your faith goodness; and to goodness, knowledge; and to knowledge, self-control; and to self-control, perseverance; and to perseverance, godliness; and to godliness, brotherly kindness; and to brotherly kindness, love. For if you possess these qualities in increasing measure, they will keep you from being ineffective and unproductive in your knowledge of our Lord Jesus Christ.
Final question:
Q. What does faith have to do with church marketing, church growth, and church outreach?
A. Everything.
