Without Love Again

Do you know any Christians that can answer any biblical or theological question you have, but don't want to get involved with the little kids or the homeless? Long time Christians that that know all about the scriptures regarding love, but don't or can't show love to anyone?

Do you know any resounding gongs or clanging cymbals? (NIV)

It's funny how God works. I had started this post a few days ago and never finished it. On Sunday I didn't go to my church, but another. The young pastor preached on chapters 12 and 13 in 1 Corithinians. He talked about how it's all about love, and that love always wins.

He also shared a point that I had heard before. Look at verses 4 through 8. Every time it says "love" or "it" referencing love, put your name in there. See if it describes you. So it would be..... Sam is patient, Sam is kind.......Linda does not envy, Linda does not boast............... A humbling exercise?

So if we know all about faith, it doesn't matter. Do we know the Word? Doesn't matter. Served God on a missions trip? None of this matters if we don't love. Love others, parents, siblings, neighbors, nobodys, strangers, poor.

And love extravagantly.
