    We are called to love others as God loves us.

    The writings of the Apostle John give three definitive statements about God. "God is Spirit" (John 4:24), "God is light" (1 John 1:5), and now, in this passage, "God is love" (1 John 4:8, 16). John was overwhelmed with the thought that God loved him and proved His love by sending the Lord Jesus ...read more

    God has super stuff prepared for us and we can only imagine, what we may become, what heaven is like.

    1 John 3:1-7 I Can Only Imagine When children play they believe they are much more than what they are: • Give them pillows and blankets, and they are no longer children, but mighty warriors constructing fortress.

    The emotion of love and living a life of love can be very complicated. How do we navigate through all the confusing and emotionally charged stuff involved in love? By knowing God and walking in God's ways.

    A. One day two men named Bill and Steve were discussing the possibility of love. “I thought I was in love three times,” said Bill. 1. Steve asked, “Thought you were in love, what do you mean?” 2. The man explained, “Three years ago, I cared very deeply for a woman who wanted nothing to do with me, ...read more

    Love Is A Verb (Lectionary, Year B, Fourth Sunday After Easter)

    Contributed by John Williams Iii on Apr 21, 2021
     | 3,280 views

    We are called to live out God’s love and truth through our deeds by keeping God’s commandment to love one another in the name of Jesus Christ (I John 3:23)! Love is a verb because the kind of love that today’s text is talking about requires us to go beyond words and put love into action.

    LOVE IS A VERB Text: I John 3:16- 24 1 John 3:16-24  We know love by this, that he laid down his life for us—and we ought to lay down our lives for one another.  (17)  How does God's love abide in anyone who has the world's goods and sees a brother or sister in need and yet ...read more

    The emergence of "woke" culture and personalities is a bigger threat to humanity than the Chinese coronavirus.

    4th Sunday of Easter 2021 There’s a long tradition of reading the Word of God centered around Jesus as a shepherd, especially this Sunday. Part of that is that sheep without a shepherd are pathetic. They fall into pits, are hunted down by wolves and coyotes and wail pathetically until someone ...read more

    We are commanded to follow the example of Jesus Christ by laying aside ourselves in sacrificial love of others.

    JESUS SAID IN JOHN 15:12-14, “MY COMMAND IS THIS: LOVE EACH OTHER AS I HAVE LOVED YOU. GREATER LOVE HAS NO ONE THAN THIS: TO LAY DOWN ONE’S LIFE FOR ONE’S FRIENDS. YOU ARE MY FRIENDS IF YOU DO WHAT I COMMAND.” JESUS IS NOT ASKING US TO DIE FOR HIM! HE IS LOOKING FOR SOMETHING ELSE. HE ISN’T ASKING ...read more

    What does it mean to be weak in Jesus? We need to be honest with ourselves, understanding that we are sinful and we are weak. We need THE savior daily in our life.

    Jesus has changed the world. The God who came, has come. We face a daunting task of carrying the gospel to the world. But in his power we can do just that.

    God fills you with love, and as you mature in Christ, that drives out the fear of eternal damnation, the only real fear worth mentioning.

    5th Sunday of Easter We’ve grown so accustomed to seeing St. Paul as one of the good guys of history, especially of Catholic or Christian history that we might be shocked by today’s reading from the Acts. Paul comes to Jerusalem after a three-year retreat in the Arabian desert. He comes full of ...read more

    The world may be against us. It most certainly is. But it isn't so bad. God is with us. Of course it's better to be with God. Hopefully we can keep those one in the same. And mainly by not keeping anything, but allowing God to do the "keeping."

    Proverb 29:27 The righteous despise the unjust; the wicked despise the godly. The dichotomy mentioned is Proverb 29:27 is being played out in our culture today.
