Luther at Wittenberg starts a Revolution
"The Law of Christ is the Law of Love. Christ gave us no other law than this law of mutual love: 'A new commandment I give unto you, That ye love one another.' To love means to bear another's burdens. Christians must have strong shoulders to bear the burdens of their fellow Christians.
Faithful pastors recognize many errors and offenses in the church, which they oversee. In civil affairs an official has to overlook much if he is fit to rule. If we can overlook our own shortcomings and wrong-doings, we ought to overlook the shortcomings of others in accordance with the words, 'Bear ye one another's burdens.'" - Martin Luther, Commentary on Galatians 6

I am reading so many stories about health, wealth and how they are related strongly to a caring community. It comes down to honesty, listening, equal treatment, warm caring and being peaceful. Does that sound a lot like the church Jesus envisioned and passed on to James, Luke, Peyer, Paul, and the others?
Building intentional groups of speaking the truth in love will change the world. Maybe we need to call it a "Wealthness Group" instead of. Church.
