Fall Worshipful Wednesday Track: If God is Love Don’t be a Jerk: Finding a Faith That Makes Us Better Humans


Join Pastor Meredith Loftis for the Fall Worshipful Wednesday Track starting August 24th as we talk about John Pavlovitz’s book, If God is Love Don’t be a Jerk: Finding a Faith That Makes Us Better Humans. Books can be found on Amazon here or check your local bookstores.

Though shalt not be horrible: imagine for a moment what the world might look like if we as people of faith, morality, and conscience actually aspired to this mantra. This simple phrase could help us practice what we preach by creating a world where:

  • Spiritual community provides a sense of belonging where all people are received as we are;

  • The most important question we ask of our religious belief is not is it true? But rather is it helpful?

  • It is morally impossible to pledge complete allegiance to both Jesus and America;

  • The way we treat each other is the most tangible and meaningful expression of our belief system.

Contact Meredith Loftis at meredith@fpcknox.org for more information. See you Wednesday, August 24th at 5:30 pm for dinner and 6:30 pm for the program.
