"Greet one another with a holy kiss" (1 Thessalonians 5:27).
Cultures are different around the world. In some countries grown men hold hands as a sign of friendship. In America two men holding hands indicates an unbiblical relationship. In Paul's day people greeted each other with a kiss on the cheek.
However we choose to express our love and respect, we need to practice displays of affection for one another. We are God's family, and we need one another. Our brothers and sisters in Christ need to know we love them.
An affectionate greeting is a daily reminder of our eternal connection.
