“But if we walk in the light, as he is in the light, we have fellowship with one another, and the blood of Jesus, his Son, purifies us from all sin.” (1 John 1:7)
“Loving Relationships” is the next of King Road’s preferred values. We have defined it as follows: “We value loving and enjoying people just as Jesus did. Life transformation takes place through compassionate and authentic relationships. Therefore everything we do we will do relationally (1 John 1:7; 1 John 4:9-10; Romans 15:7-8).”
Loving relationships. Authenticity. Fellowship. Community. Openness. Transparency. Honesty. Relational words seem to be all the rage recently. Book after book has been written to address the human need for relationship. You see, God has created us as relational people who need both God and others. The greatest commandment is to love God with everything, but the second greatest commandment focuses on our relationship with others…love our neighbour as ourselves. I don’t think I need to convince anyone of the need for loving relationships.
I would, however, like to ask your help in describing what this looks like in your life. What does a compassionate and authentic relationship look like? I have some ideas, but I’d like to hear yours, so please leave a comment or two! (If you’re not sure where to begin, why not list a “one-another” found in scripture…e.g. forgive one another.)

It truly is a blessing to be able to walk together!
