     | 11,341 views

    This wonderful section of scripture on the Love of God and our Love for others is explained by way of an extended analogy. God is like a "car guy" who sees a "classic" in a rust bomb. We must have the same eyes when we consider others.

    Have you ever known one of those guys who are into restoring cars? Most of us do. They scour the junkyards and the abandoned farmsteads of the midwest looking for old wrecks. When you we see a dilapidated old rust bomb sitting out in a field with weeds growing through the rusty ...read more

    Giving as a response to God’s love.

    THE OFFERING TEXT: 1 John 4:7-12; Numbers 18:21-29 You’ve heard it said sometimes that a person “knows just enough to be dangerous.” That doesn’t necessarily mean a person is learning to be violent, it just means that when we know a little bit about something, we might do something we would ...read more

    After searching textbooks and reference materials, the meaning of Love was right there in front of me in 1-john.4:8..God is LOVE... The word Love in scripture is mainly used in two ways, the word agape means the Attitude of love, the God-like kind of love, and the word phileo which means the ...read more

    God’s love shown to us in Christ is all we need to soothe our guilty conscience and in turn to find the freedom to forgive others.

And that appeared to be the right message for a hurt and frightened world. Love is all you need. It’s all ...read more
