WHAT IS LOVE?

4 Love is patient and kind; love does not envy or boast; it is not arrogant or rude. 5 It does not insist on its own way; it is not irritable or resentful; 6 it does not rejoice at wrongdoing, but rejoices with the truth. 7 Love bears all things, believes all things, hopes all things, endures all things. 8 Love never ends. As for prophecies, they will pass away; as for tongues, they will cease; as for knowledge, it will pass away.
1 Cor 13:4-8 (ESV)

I was listening to “Came to My Rescue by Hillsong” on Youtube and in the video I saw a picture where “LOVE NEVER ENDS” was pointed out and I thought I want to find out where that is in the Bible and read on it a little, I don’t know why it struck me but I wanted to read it. So I did, and I found it was loacted in 1 Corinthians 13:8. I read the entire chapter 13 to find out why the writer, in this case who would be Paul I believe, would write Love Never Ends. As I read I found out that LOVE is not only a very powerful word, but if you have true love, nothing will get in the way of you the one you love. Nothing can get in the way of you and the one you love.

I think these verses decribe and define love perfectly. This may not help you understand the feeling, but it will help you understand that love is way more than just a word. As I was sitting in church yesterday morning Pastor David said he hates the word Christian because it has bene watered down so much, because someone who does not live a Christian lifestyle calls themselves a Christian just to give themselves a religious label. I would say the same thing about the word love, I don’t hate the word but as we all know this to has been watered down, because a 13 or 14 year old tells their boyfriend or girlfriend they love them when really, they have no clue what love is or maybe even means.

I don’t have an inspiring words, I just wanted to share this with all of you. Read the above passage a few times if you have to, but read it and make sure you understand it. And when your done, think about the word love and hopefully, your view on this word has changed. God Bless You All!

Masquerade Christianity

Wow, it has been so long since I have done this! I wish I could write all day every day! God uses me in his time though. The title of this comes from J.T. Cheek, Life group leader, friend, brother in Jesus Christ. One day at life group we went off on a tangent and it all concluded with J.T. saying Masquerade Christianity. It blew me away because that is such an appropriate term for religion in south Georgia. We live in "The Bible Belt". Most of our southern morals are based on biblical teachings. We are getting away from that now but still a lot of our moralistic ideas are biblical. It's not right for this or that ... You get it. Anyway, This is why Christians look weak to the world, this is why Christianity is so accepted into everyone's lives because they see Christianity is just a word and not a commitment/ lifestyle . When you first accept Jesus as the Lord and Savior of your life it's a lifestyle and a commitment to God. I don't know a poll but I bet if ...

My Mansion

I am learning more about myself daily, as I am sure you are as well. Today I began my day as I usually do and proceeded with the typical way I live my life. I did wake up especially early this morning though. 4:30am came early considering I went to bed so late last night. By late I mean I went to be around 11:30 - 12. Going to sleep that late, I would usually sleep in much later than 4:30am, but not this morning, for whatever reason. Well, I got up, took my dog out and came back in to sit in front of my computer, played some video games and watched some movies/videos online. I have always enjoyed a good "reaction video" so I took a stroll down that field this morning. I am always intrigued with how someone from a different walk of life will react to some specific song or something. I started watching a man, probably in his mid 50's reacting to Eminem videos. I was struck with how open minded he was, and realized how emotional Eminem's songs make me. I began to thin...

The Narrow Way

3 "Enter by the narrow gate. For the gate is wide and the way is easy that leads to destruction, and those who enter by it are many. 14 For the gate is narrow and the way is hard that leads to life, and those who find it are few." Matthew 7: 13-14 Read that and read it again. Think about what that means to you. "Enter by the narrow gate" - to me this is simply saying the narrow gate is the right one to enter through without having read the rest of the above scripture. "For the gate is wide and the way is easy that leads to destruction, and those who enter by it are many." - This is something that is so hard for us to comprehend. Not everyone will go to heaven, actually by what this says, many people or most people will go to Hell because they will chose the wide gate and the easy way. By them choosing that way and following that path, they will find destruction in the end. Pain and suffering for eternity. What is eternity, I can't explain because I don...
