Sermons on Christian Love:

But For The Love Of God

Contributed by Rodney V Johnson on Jul 18, 2020

We often hear people says "For the love of God....." when they are expressing frustrations. In this message I hope to convince Christians that this statement should never be made in frustration, but with a sense of awe as we reflect on God's love for us.

Dead-Sea Christians

Contributed by Ajai Prakash on Apr 27, 2013

Love Or Cosmetology? Series

Contributed by D. Dewaine Phillips on Sep 15, 2021

Valentine's Day: If church members do Christian things like feed the homeless or go on mission trips, and these acts are done without love, then people are just wasting their time. Without love, God doesn’t care what we do for Him.

Neil Postman writes in his book Amusing Ourselves to Death, “that we have reached the point where cosmetics has replaced ideology [or “practice”] as [a] field of expertise.”(1) The verb “cosmeticize” means, “to make something unpleasant or ugly superficially attractive.”(2) It’s common for people ...read more
