                    God So Loved
I want to paint a picture for you this morning.  Picture yourself arguing with a friend and you really lose it. You pull out a gun and kill your friend.  You are caught and arrested.  You receive your day in court and found guilty of your sin of murder.  You are sentenced to die by

                    GOD'S PERSISTENT LOVE
For more than 40 years, each week a shy Welshman went to his neighbor’s door and slipped a love note underneath. Because of an argument years before, she refused to speak to the man. Finally, after writing 2184 love letters with no response of any kind, the 74-year-old man

  Meister Eckhart:  Some people want to love God in the same way as they love a cow.  You love it for the milk and the cheese and for your own profit.  So do those who love God for the sake of outward riches or inward consolation. But they do not love God correctly, for

                    The Davinci code will tell you that Jesus was married Mary.
is it so? NO, NO, AND - mil times NO – NOT!
But I want to show you that God did get married. 
Blasphemy, you say, NOT SO, It’s irreverent, sacrilegious – and not true
But He really did! Hear me out.

- Love is not just a virtue of God.  It is God Himself.  
- Love is not something God begins.
- God does not “extend His energy to maintain” love.  
- The love of God is as eternal as the nature of God.
- The love of God is
