In Andy Stanley’s first session of the series “Christian,” he made a comment that the the modern church has suffered greatly because we have not kept the “new commandment” (John 13:34) where Jesus told us to “love one another” as believers in the church. He further maintained that this “new commandment” was what eventually caused the early church to topple the mighty Roman Empire, because this lifestyle of love so so radical to the Roman culture that it became contagious.

Any thoughts or comments? Ladies, I know you were in a different session, but feel free to chime in. What did the early church have that we in the church today, have lost?
