     | 12,028 views

Every Sunday as I was growing up in Scotland, I would hear the minister of our church repeat these words from the beginning of 1 John 4:7 - “Beloved, let us love one another, for love is of God.” This is one of the tests of true Christianity.

    I believe that if we look at this episode in the life of John the Baptist which centers on his uncertainty about Jesus Christ, we will discover how we can love those people in our lives who are also uncertain.

    CALLED TO LOVE I Corinthians 13:1-13 "Love is the medicine for the sickness of the world.” So said noted psychiatrist Dr. Karl Meninger. He summarized his therapeutic approach this way: “Love cures. It cures those who give it and it cures those who receive it.” We have been ...read more
