The Power of Love part 4

The power of love is giving everything you have and everything you are and expecting nothing in return. That's the nature of love. Because love is not about getting anything. Love IS giving. Sharing what you've got. Esteeming others higher than yourself and taking care of THEM instead of worrying...

I want to revisit the key verse for this Rant series: 2 Timothy 1:7, "For God hath not given us the spirit of fear; but of power, and of love, and of a sound mind." Now, just the same as Romans 12:2, "And be not conformed to this world: but be ye transformed by the renewing of your mind, that ye...

It's almost unfathomable how powerful love is. But I'll try to say it as simply as I can: "But God commendeth his love toward us, in that, while we were yet sinners, Christ died for us" (Romans 5:8). When we had nothing to offer... God gave us His only beloved Son. He gave us His very life....

There are some things that we seem to take for granted in the "church world." One of them is that God is all-powerful. But it doesn't seem like we make the connection that if God is all-powerful, and God is love... that means LOVE is all-powerful. It doesn't seem like we turly understand the power...

Love. It's the most important thing in life. Because it IS life. To live is to love and to love is to live. According to 1 John 3:14, "...He that loveth not his brother abideth in death." No love... no life. It's that simple. But here's the tricky part: You can't give what you don't have. And you...

When we look within we find what we have. And when we know what we have we can give it away. Share it. And in that way EXPERIENCE what we have. That's why when I talk about receiving and releasing, I usually add that the best way TO receive is BY releasing. See, we talk about blind leaps of faith....

Knowing that you are loved is what allows you to love. Because love is never about getting. Love IS giving. And you can't give what you don't have. You can only give what you do have. 1 John 4:19 says, "We love him, because he first loved us." And in the NLT it says, "We love each other because he...

Loved part 2

The love and affirmation of the Father equips and empowers the Son to live. Because to live is to love and to love is to live. Because you can't give what you don't have, and you can only give what you do have. In order to love, you have to know and believe that you ARE loved. And that's what the...

I want to talk about perspective for the next few days. Specifically, the idea that it is equally as important--if not MORE important, at least in the beginning--to understand that we are loved. Because you can't give what you don't have. And you can only give what you do have. If you're running...

Life part 5

I've said this many times before: God doesn't want to be a PART of your life. He wants to BE your life. Because He IS life. Look at 2 Corinthians 5:14-15 in the Message Bible, "Christ's love has moved me to such extremes. His love has the first and last word in everything we do. Our firm decision...
