What did Jesus mean when he told us to "Love one another"? Did he mean hearty handshakes and happy smiles on a Sunday morning? Or something more? What is involved in encouraging one another? Where does admonishing one another fit in? What are the keys to forgiving one another? Veteran Bible teacher Gray DeLashmutt takes his information directly from the pages of New Testament scripture where we find more than fifty "one-another" passages. These passages form a blueprint for the lifestyle of authentic New Testament Christian community. Loving one another is intensely practical as it also draws on DeLashumtt's 40+ years in pastoral ministry.

Paul's brief letter to the Colossians proclaims that Jesus is above all other so-called gods and lords. This was a radical assertion in Paul's day, as it is in ours. Even more radical is his declaration that Jesus, through His Spirit, is in every person who personally receives Him. Paul follows these claims by explaining what authentic Christian spirituality looks like and how to progress in it.
