Agape, loving with divine love, or put another way loving as Jesus did, is not an emotional response. It is a decision.

God knew what He was doing when He created us and gave us life. God knew what He was doing when He gifted us each differently. We need to learn to look at one another and see the gift and not the lack.

Like Jesus met Peter where he was, God meets us where we are. Our God does not demand our love. Love cannot be mandated.

We love God. It is as simple and as profound as that. If we did not love Him, we would not seek Him.

The tomb is not necessary for the divine nature of Jesus. The divine nature of Jesus could have been raised immediately. The tomb is essential for the human nature of Jesus.

Amen, Amen, Amen 

Our sins should bother us. They should annoy us. We should never allow ourselves to become complacent and ignore or fail to remember when we have sinned.

The sins of judging others and casting derision on another for any reason put us far from the Kingdom of God. 

God gives us Holy Ground moments when He whispers His name in our ear. When He says, “This is who I am.”

If we can quote chapter and verse from the scripture, but if we don’t hear the music of faith, the words are empty. They are words without power, without passion.
