Spiritual Friendship

Grace is receiving life from God to become a giver of life to others, and honor is how we give that life to one another. Though grace is manifested in honor, it is honor that invites the power of grace for a testimony of God's glory. These things are known through a face-to-face relationship with God as our friend. Knowing God as our friend will empowers honor and grace to cause us to manifest as God's sons and daughters for the sake of our world.

In No Greater Love, Rebecca McLaughlin walks us through the highs and lows of friendship love—a love that’s been neglected and malnourished in our modern world.
