1Thess NOV 5
2021
The Word makes it clear that we can love as the Father and Jesus do because His love has been poured into our hearts. It is a love that radiates outwards and that requires action! God watches over His word to perform it. He commands and equips us to do the same! It is not about feelings, but what you choose to do—to love!

While the devil comes to steal, kill, and destroy he is still a tool in the hand of an almighty God who instructs us on the fullness of joy! Greater is He who is in you than he who is in the world.

The gospel is confrontational! When Jesus, the King of kings, and who is the Truth, encounters the 'god' of this present world (2 Cor. 4:4) and who is a liar by nature they must have different purposes and goals. One is life, the other is death. Choose Life!
