    Is It Enough Just To Love God

    Contributed by Clay Gentry on Aug 7, 2013
     | 4,131 views

    Is it enough just to love God? By that we mean, it is enough to be well pleasing to God to simply love Him? Some Christians would say yes, others no, but what does God's word say? That is the focus of this lesson.

    Last week I asked a dozen people this simple question, “Is it enough just to love God?” Only two people said “yes it was enough just to love God,” while the other ten emphatically said, “no it’s not, we have to obey Him.” So what is the answer? Is it enough ...read more

    This story from 2 Kings 6:1-7 is an Old Testament illustration pared with a New Testament admonition from Revelation 2:4-5 about losing your first love. If you lose your cutting edge, how can you get it back?

    The deep and profound truths are not necessarily the most complex. It is true that life itself can be complex. The problems we face can be complex. Sometimes there are no simple answers. Therefore, it seems that the weighty matters of life must be filled with complexity.

    Top Priority Mark 12:28-34 28. aOne of the scribes came and heard them arguing, and brecognizing that He had answered them well, asked Him, “What commandment is the 1foremost of all?” 29. Jesus answered, “The foremost is, ‘aHEAR, O ISRAEL! THE LORD OUR GOD IS ONE ...read more

    Sometimes we as Christians forget our true purpose here on Earth, and it is our first and foremost purpose to love each of God's creation. So many people have turned their backs on God because of the church. It's time to flip the script.

    We’re going to be discussing the power of love. Now, Webster’s dictionary defines love as a strong affection for another arising out of kinship or personal ties. Affection based on sexual desire. Affection based on admiration, benevolence or common interests, attachment, devotion, ...read more

     | 770 views

    Jesus does not first ask for your work, offering, or position. He first asks for your heart. Love is the root of every fruitful walk with God. Like Peter, you may have failed before, but Jesus still asks today: “Do you love Me?”

    DO YOU LOVE ME? By Rev. Samuel Arimoro Main Text: John 21:15-21 "So when they had dined, Jesus saith to Simon Peter, Simon, son of Jonas, lovest thou me more than these?

    #11 (and final) in my Romans 8 - What a Way to Live! series. It first summarizes the rest of the chapter, and uses extended allegory of the Trojan war to describe inseparable love.

    Romans 8:38-39 – To Be Loved (NOTE: to get the full effect of the Trojan War illustration, you may want to research this more than I have written. Watching "Troy" is a help, too.)
