But saying it mandates doing it, and Miller thinks that many Christians don’t honestly love others or care about the lost. Also, people are immune to the latter, according to Miller. It sticks more than “Jesus loves you,” but says the same thing. The Lord gave him that “God is crazy about you” phrase, he says. The main way people can experience God’s love is through his people, and loving others is one reason the Clermont, Fla., church has grown, according to Lead Pastor Justin Miller. “We loved the message we loved the people.” “And that was it,” says Whitemore, who then began a relationship with Jesus. She visited Real Life Christian Church after a member helped Whitemore’s family through financial difficulty. “It was religion not relationship,” she says. When Sally Whitemore hears that at her church, she sees it “in every shape and form.” But she grew up attending church only on Christmas and Easter-“if we were lucky”-and God seemed about as frequent in his connection. IC Coach Mark Montemayor serves as the Executive Pastor. We installed an Intentional GrowthPlan at Real Life Christian Church in 2014. *Article originally posted here on Outreach Magazine
