Loving others discussed at Lifetree Café

Love God and love all your neighbors. All means all. The community is invited to take part in a discussion on loving others at Lifetree Café on Monday, April 25, at 2 p.m.

God loves everyone, so a Christian should, too. In fact, Jesus said that the most important thing in life is to love God with everything we’ve got and love others the same way. But it’s not always easy to love everyone around us, is it? Sometimes we strongly disagree with other people’s political views, religious beliefs, behaviors, or something else, and it makes it hard to love them when we feel like we’re right and they’re very wrong. But Jesus doesn’t separate loving God and loving others. So maybe the best way for us to show our love for God is actually by loving other people no matter how hard it sometimes is. Maybe it’s the only way.

The name of the upcoming Lifetree Cafe program is “Bullhorn.”

Admission to the 60-minute event is free. Lifetree Café meets at Jalapeño's Mexican Restaurant, 314 N. Second Ave., Sandpoint.

Lifetree Café is a place where people gather for conversation about life and faith in a casual, comfortable setting. Questions about Lifetree may be directed to stan@followcommunity.org or 208-304-6465.
