“Now as to the love of the brothers and sisters, you have no need for anyone to write to you, for you yourselves are taught by God to love one another;” Paul (1 Thessalonians 4:9) Real Love can only come from God as any other imitations fall short. Our “brotherly love” must be an overflow of His Agape (selfless, sacrificial, self-giving love that prefers Him above all else). We cannot love our fellow man and compromise God’s Love in any way. Seems that The... Read More

A once-a-week message is not nearly enough teaching for His Word to dwell richly in us! We need time with Him daily…and with other disciples/believers…teaching and being taught! We continue our "one anothers" in loving, sharing and working out God's plan for the Body of Christ as Paul... Read More

Blog
First of all, I pray that you know Christ as Savior and Lord and are able to rejoice in His incredible gift of grace and sacrifice of His Life for all who would believe in Him as Savior and Lord! It is only because of Him that we can even know Love and how to love Him and "one another." Yesterday we looked at the command to "bear with each other." In that same verse, the Apostle Paul shows us what must be done in... Read More
