Ep 200 | Love

We unpack three points, love is an action, those actions will show that we belong to the truth, and God is greater than our feelings!

Scripture

Dear children, let’s not merely say that we love each other; let us show the truth by our actions. Our actions will show that we belong to the truth, so we will be confident when we stand before God. Even if we feel guilty, God is greater than our feelings, and he knows everything.
1 John 3:18-20

Questions

List 3, out of the ordinary acts of love you can do today.
What do you feel guilty about? Even though it is hard, tell your friends and God. Ask God for forgiveness; you will find freedom from your guilt.

A second is equally important: ‘Love your neighbor as yourself.’ The entire law and all the demands of the prophets are based on these two commandments.”

Matthew 18:19-20

“I also tell you this: If two of you agree here on earth concerning anything you ask, my Father in heaven will do it for you. For where two or three gather together as my followers, I am there among them.”

Ep 195 | Why Do I Hurt | The Fallen World Part 2 of 4

When you find yourself asking the question, “Why do I hurt?” Know that you are asking a question that all people ask.

Scripture

Job 39:1-4

“Do you know when the wild goats give birth? Have you watched as deer are born in the wild? Do you know how many months they carry their young? Are you aware of the time of their delivery? They crouch down to give birth to their young and deliver their offspring. Their young grow up in the open fields, then leave home and never return.”

Job 42:2-6

“I know that you can do anything, and no one can stop you. You asked, ‘Who is this that questions my wisdom with such ignorance?’ It is I—and I was talking about things I knew nothing about, things far too wonderful for me. You said, ‘Listen and I will speak! I have some questions for you, and you must answer them.’ I had only heard about you before, but now I have seen you with my own eyes. I take back everything I said, and I sit in dust and ashes to show my repentance.”
