    Christians are taught to love one another. However, what is it that causes us to love one another? How shall we love? John gives us a glimpse of the love we are to have in this brief letter to a man named Gaius.

    “The elder to the beloved Gaius, whom I love in truth. “Beloved, I pray that all may go well with you and that you may be in good health, as it goes well with your soul. For I rejoiced greatly when the brothers came and testified to your truth, as indeed you are walking in the truth. I have no ...read more

    True love comes from Almighty God.

    Text: “Love has been perfected among us…” (v. 17) How long has love been around? How would you answer that question? We have all experienced love in some form. Our families love us. As babies, we had parents who loved us. As we grew older we “fell in love” with a particular person. Love has ...read more

    Jesus' message to the church at Ephesus reminds us of the need to love Jesus and each other.

    There were once two newlyweds on their honeymoon. They were taking a train ride cross country. The bride was becoming a little self conscious about all the fanfare of being a new married couple.

    Defining love has become difficult in our society. True love must originate with God and reflect through our lives.

    Love For a Lifetime 1 John 2:3-6 Love is a word that has become obscure and ambiguous in our day. It is often talked about but seldom is it clearly defined. Love is what some have called a “weasel-word.” Love may mean anything, or nothing. It has lost its moorings and stands for ...read more

    How do we define love and how are we defined by love?

    The Nature of Love And that is the sum of the New Testament teaching, All you need is love. Paul wrote exactly the same thing in Romans 13:8 without the catchy tune, Romans 13:8 Owe nothing to anyone—except for your obligation to love one another. If you love your neighbour, you will ...read more

    Learn from the lesson of Mary and Martha. Be steadfast in your obligations and fulfill your responsibilities. But do so out of a sense of appreciation for wonder and beauty of God’s love. Be careful about being distracted by too many obligations. Be f

    When a man wants to prove His love for a woman, what does he do? • He may write a poem. • He may compose a song • He may buy her an expensive gift. • He may ask her to marry him.
