Without love, Gospel partnerships do not work.

Paul viewed the church of Philippi as a strong Gospel partner. But his view of them was not primarily from the perspective of a shared work load. He loved them! And they loved him. In fact, his concern was for their love to grow more and more. Love is our why. When the why is right, the what takes care of itself. Learn to see people through the lens of love, not through the lens of how their gifts and energy can help you.
