LOVE, ANYONE? Part 2



What’s Inside: Love. The conversation continues. We are not talking about just any love. We are talking about the love for which we are held responsible as Children of God, the love that is the marker of our faith and the evidence of a Christian. How can you tell if someone really has a relationship God? “By this everyone will know that you are my (Jesus) disciples, if you love one another” (John 13:35). Is it possible to show love to everyone around you? Yes – through your patience, kindness, genuine happiness for others and humility. (If you missed Part 1 to this post series, check it out here). There are so many ways in which we share our love for one another. Lets explore a few more.

LOVE, ANYONE? Part 1


What's Inside: Love. It is the greatest commandment and the greatest virtue. It is the foundation of the Christian faith. It is the message that will reach the people around us far sooner than our many words. But, how do we express it on a daily basis? How do we appropriately show love to a neighbor or a stranger? How do we show love to our enemies? I have a few guesses. And, I say we start with an easy one – 1 Corinthians 13. We know it as the wedding passage, but it’s application reaches much further than our intimate relationships.
