In his book, Instruments in the Redeemer's Hand by Paul David Tripp, the desperate need for us to apply Christ- like love in all our relationships floats to the top of all christian ministries like oil on water.
Tripp points out:
"The church is not a theological classroom. It is a conversion, confession, repentance, forgiveness, and sanctification center, where flawed people place their trust in Christ, gather to know and love him better, and learn to love others as he has designed. The church is messy and inefficient, but it is God's wonderful mess - the place where he radically transforms hearts and lives."
If you are being wore down by the pressures and disappointments of your christian ministry, Instruments in the Redeemer's Hands, will help you to re-direct your focus and build relationships with others by entering their world through Christ-like love.
