When our heart is built on Christ, the holes in my life and the holes in my brother/sister’s life will hurt equally bad.
When our heart is built on Christ, we will plea with the Holy Spirit to return us to the right path.
When our heart is built on Christ, we will take effective steps to repair our broken heart.
And the best place to see and do these things is the church…Welcome Back!
