God’s Love for Us, Perfected

What is a perfect love? John seems to answer the question when he writes, “…If we love one another, God abides in us, and His love is perfected in us” (1 John 4:12). So, on the surface, it seems that a perfect love for man is one that is reaches moral perfection by practicing love. But this clashes with experiential reality. Can such a love ever be achieved by mere mortal man? Is there anything that sinful man can truly claim to do perfectly—especially that highest virtue of love?

Why Does God Love Us?

The question I want to answer in this post is, “Why does God loves us?” I am speaking particularly of His fatherly love for His children, for Christians—His love that gives salvation and eternal life. Why does He love us?

The Hero Who Risked All for a Whore

What’s unexpected about Christianity is that its great hero doesn’t risk all for a damsel but for a whore.

The Greatest of All Virtues

Haters keep on hating and liars keep on lying. Churches keep on splitting and couples keep on sinning. Suspicion, presumption, and deception leave the battlefield littered with their victims. Bitterness, selfishness, retaliation, slander, and impatience — these are not the instruments and tools of love, are they? Fears, fakery, and faithlessness give the devil a foothold to lead our hearts astray. If we are the people of God of love, ought not we be loving as He loves?

Love or Die: Christ's Wake-up Call to the Church - Book Review

"It is not so much that their genuine virtues have squeezed love out, but that no amount of good works, wisdom, and discernment in matters of church discipline, patient endurance in hardship, hatred of sin, or disciplined doctrine, can ever make up for lovelessness."

Do You Love Your Jesus?

…Love to the Lord Jesus Christ is no hidden, secret, impalpable thing. It is like the light — it will be seen. It is like sound — it will be heard. It is like heat — it will be felt. Where it exists it cannot be hid. Where it cannot be seen you may be sure there is none.
