    The foundation of Christian doctrine is laid in the word of God. The confirmation of a doctrine is found in our own experience.

    The text has two words in it that make up all there is of religion, love and fear. All pagan religions of the world are founded on fear of their gods. Christianity is the only religion in the world whose substance is love. There are scholars who claim the love spoken of in verse seventeen is not ...read more

    When we comprehend God’s perfect love for us, we will live without fear and be moved to keep his commandments for all the right reasons.

    Fear of punishment is a very effective form of motivation. It’s used quite effectively in the military. Soldiers are trained to obey orders. That’s what boot camp is all about. You find out very quickly that you better listen and get it right the first time or you face the wrath of an angry ...read more

So, for example, when someone says God is all-powerful, I find myself waiting for them to add that he’s also all-knowing, and ...read more

    "Love One Another" is repeated again and again throughout the pages of the New Testament. Why dwell so heavily on this command when it would seem there is so much more to learn about God?

    OPEN: "That’s marvelous, having a lion and monkey in the same cage," said the visitor to a small zoo. "How do they get along?" "Okay, usually," answered the zookeeper. "Occasionally they have a disagreement, and we have to get a new monkey." APPLY: Now, why do they need to get a new monkey? ...read more
