    『愛不僅是在消極方面的包容與接納，更是在積極上的鼓勵與成全』。當你碰到一個主內肢體在言行上有不合聖徒的體統，有批評論斷、傷害合一的事，或是在事奉上懶散不負責É，你通常是如何去面對 (Be True)？我們又該如何去面對才符合聖經所教導的身體生活的原則。請各小組收集眾人的分享後，列出具體的建議 (寄給 office或直接放在 shared doc –2012-06-10 Sunday Feedback Question Group Discussion (教會的生活和事奉)中)，可以幫助全教會在這方面一起成長。

    『Love is not just passive acceptance, but active encouragement and fulfilling』。When you see a member of the body who acts in a way contrary to the conduct of the saints, being judgmental, hurting the oneness, or being lazy and irresponsible in service...  how do you face it (Be True)?  How are we to face it in a way that adheres to the principles taught in the Bible about bodily service?  Have each small group collect everyoneÕs sharing, then provide concrete recommendations (send to office or directly enter into the shared doc –2012-06-10 Sunday Feedback Question Group Discussion (教會的生活和事奉).  Lets help the whole church grow in this aspect。
