Love

                                                                                   Love.


What’s Love Got To Do With It?


Beloved, let us “Love One Another”, for Love is of God; and “everyone who Loves is born of God” and “Knows God”.  He who “Does not Love” “Does Not Know God”, for God is Love.  In this the Love of God was manifested toward us, that God sent His only begotten Son into the world, that we might “Live Through Him”.  (1 John 4:7-11)


If I “Do Not” Love you, I “Do Not Know Jesus”.


      The word “Love” has meanings and understandings to people as varied as the stairs in the sky; but to the Christian:


Love - Is a Selfless, Sacrificial, and “Active Commitment” to the well being of others., rooted in God’s own nature.  Its not primarily a feeling, “But A Demonstration of Care”, Kindness, and compassion, often expressed through actions and a desire for the other person’s good.


Our Daily Nugget

is saying to us that; “Love” is “Where the Rubber Meets the Road”.  Being the Church benefits the People who need to be Loved, Helped; Having Church benefits the one who attends the Church Service.  “Having Church” without “Being the Church” is Not Love.  It is impossible to Obey the Great Commandments without “Loving your Neighbor”.


Who Have You Loved, Helped, Done For, Lately?


Take spouses, parents, children, grandchildren, out of the picture; “Now”, “Prove you Love Your Neighbor as you love yourself”.  This proof or the lack of it, let’s us know if we Love The Lord.  Love of the world will prevent us from loving one another.  We cannot Love the Lord and Love the World.


To “Love our neighbor” is to love ourselves and “It Honors God”.


Greed, pride, selfishness; these are things that prevents us from loving.  To remember that naked we came into this world and naked we are going out of this world helps us to not hold on to worldly things.  Love is like a life flowing river; selfishness and greed is like a Dead Sea; always receiving and never giving.


“Bless you and your Household”; 

Love Your Neighbor Today.

Clutter!

                                                                              Clutter!   The Demon of “Clutter”?   A time to seek, and a time to lose; a time to keep, and a time to cast away.  (Ecc. 3:6) The seed that fell among thorns stands for those who hear, but as they go on their way they are choked by life’s worries, riches and pleasures, and they do not mature.   (Luke 8:14) There is a sore evil which I have seen under the sun, namely, riches “kept” for the owners thereof to their hurt.  (Ecc. 5:13)   It Is Better to “Give than to Receive”; “Giving Prevents Clutter & Hoarding”.   Clutter and hoarding prevent Order. In the absence of Order, there will be  “Disorder”. Clutter and hoarding will lead to Disorder, they can be physical...

The Wisdom of Patience.

                                                                  The Wisdom of Patience. Patience Will “Prevent” Foolishness. A person’s “wisdom yield patience”; it is to one’s “glory” to overlook an offense.  A King’s rage is like the roar of a lion, but his favor is like dew on the grass.  A foolish child is a father’s ruin, and a quarrelsome wife is like the constant dripping of a leaky roof.  (Proverbs 19:11-13) We are “Not Wise”, when we are Impatient; we are “Foolish”! Our Daily Nugget is written by Solomon, “the wisest man to have ever lived”; He knows what he is talking about.  Patience leads to life, foolishness leads to death.  For a father to have a foolish child “is a father’s ruin” and to have a quarrelsome wife is like the “constant dripping of a leaky roof”.  Without pat...

Trust "Truth"!

                                                                         Trust “Truth”!   God’s Word is the Only Truth.   Let not your heart be troubled; believe in God, believe also in me.  (John 14:1) I am The Way, “The Truth”, and the Life; no one comes to the Father, but by me.   (John 14:6)                              Trusting Truth is “Resisting The Devil”, now, He’ll Flee. Every person that is born, is born in sin, “Separated from the Father”; now every person must get to the Father.  The work of the Holy Spirit is to get everyone to the Father; the work of the demonic spirit is to keep us from being reunited with the Father.  “This Is The War”!  The War is a spiri...
