Summary: <p>LOVE IS NOT A GIFT IT’S A BATON…based on the parable of the unmerciful servant who received mercy but didn’t pass it on … once batons become owned love stops flowing…we are carriers of the baton of love, grace, mercy and forgiveness not keepers… church history has been the erratic story of a church that’s either passed the baton on or kept and warehoused it.</p> <p>Nobody owns the baton</p> <p>Batons can’t be handled twice</p> <p>Batons can’t be dropped</p> <p>Batons are passed in motion</p> <p>Batons must be passed in a zone.. delayed passing like delayed love is a fail.</p> <p>Selective love</p> <p>Controlling love</p> <p>Conditional love</p> <p>Protected love</p> <p>Manipulative love</p> <p>Coercive love … are not valid batons.</p> <p>WE ARE SERVANTS OF THE BATON and few things make God as angry as when people who’ve received his love, mercy, grace and forgiveness…don’t pass it on.</p> <p>Thank you for listening to the Growing Big People with Paul Scanlon podcast, we want to hear from you so please keep in touch with us and share your thoughts on this episode with Paul on his social media - @PaulScanlonuk</p> <p><em><strong>Don't forget to subscribe, and leave us your review.</strong></em></p> <p><strong>For more information about Paul Scanlon on events and resources visit</strong><a href="https://anchor.fm/dashboard/episode/new/www.paulscanlon.com"> </a><a href="www.paulscanlon.com"><u><strong>paulscanlon.com</strong></u></a></p> <p><strong>Or email pa@paulscanlon.com</strong></p>
