Download or read book God Is Love Let Love Lead written by Gwendolyn Jones and published by Christian Faith Publishing, Inc.. This book was released on 2021-11-19 with total page 62 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: God is Love... "Let Love Lead" is thought-provoking, spiritually enlightening and hopefully encouraging. While written during a time of political chaos and civil unrest, the title could have easily been no love, no justice, no peace. If the opposite of love is hate, then the absence of God can produce the same. In summary, the book embraces the all-encompassing meaning of the phrase "God is love." God Is Love will never be just another feel-good slogan despite how hearing it makes us feel good. The pages contained within demonstrate how God's love must be applied to every area of our lives, especially marriage and family, which is the foundation of our existence. God's love must be extended to our neighbor, coworker, customer, and enemy, which produces the basic concept of who God is. Mark 12:30-31 tells us to "Love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your mind and with all your strength, love your neighbor as yourself. There are no commandments greater than these" (NIV). When we allow God to lead, his love is manifested in everything we do, every conversation, every action, and every reaction. God's love is never based on skin color, material possessions, money, educational status, job title, physical features, fraternity or sorority, political or professional affiliation, or talent. Hate is so prevalent in the world today; only love (God) can conquer hate. A revelation of who God is and who he created humanity to be versus what it has become is crystal clear from the cover to the last chapter. Every human being is born with the capacity to both experience and extend love, but sympathy, concern, hunger for life, lusting, wanting, and needing are emotions that have always been confused with real love, which must begin with God. The ability to love like God loves comes when a spiritual relationship is established with the creator. God's love is the picture of a Shepherd's love; it commits, provides for, takes care of, communicates to listen, seeks to understand, and never ends. The Bible assures us that "God's love bears all things, believes all things, hopes all things, endures all things" (1 Corinthians 13:7 KJV). Beloved, let us love one another, for love is from God, and whoever loves has been born of God and knows God. Anyone who does not love does not know God, because God is love. In this, the love of God was made manifest among us, that God sent his only Son into the world, so that we might live through him" (1 John 4:7-9 ESV). God is love... Let Love Lead.

Download or read book Why I Love the Apostle Paul written by John Piper and published by Crossway. This book was released on 2019-01-17 with total page 178 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "Besides Jesus, no one has kept me from despair, or taken me deeper into the mysteries of the gospel, than the apostle Paul." —John Piper No one has had a greater impact on the world for eternal good than the apostle Paul—except Jesus himself. For John Piper, this impact is very personal. He does not just admire and trust Paul. He loves him. Piper gives us thirty glimpses into why his heart and mind respond this way. Can a Christian-killer really endure 195 lashes from a heart of love? Can a mystic who thinks he was caught up into heaven be a model of lucid rationality? Can an ethnocentric Jew write the most beautiful call to reconciliation? Can a person who lives with the unceasing anguish of empathy be always rejoicing? Can a man's description of the horrors of human sin be exceeded by his delight in human splendor? Can a man with a backbone of steel be as tender as a nursing mother? If we know this man—if we see what Piper sees—we too will love him. Paul's testimony is a matter of life and death. Piper invites you into his relationship with Paul in the hope that you will know life, forever.

Download or read book The Love That Is God written by Frederick Christian Bauerschmidt and published by Wm. B. Eerdmans Publishing. This book was released on 2020-08-11 with total page 121 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: “God is love is the radical claim of Christianity,” writes Frederick Bauerschmidt at the beginning of this little meditation on the essentials of Christian faith. In a rich yet accessible style reminiscent of C. S. Lewis and G. K. Chesterton, Bauerschmidt breathes life back into that claim, drawing from Scripture, great Christian and non-Christian writers of the past, and his own lived experience to show just how countercultural and subversive Christianity is actually meant to be. Eschewing the abstract and dogmatic in favor of the relational and inviting, he offers something for everyone, from lifelong churchgoers and students of religion to the growing population of “nones” among younger generations who are increasingly seeking spiritual fulfillment outside of institutional Christianity. With further reading suggestions (both scriptural and nonscriptural) at the end of each chapter, The Love That Is God is the perfect starting point of a spiritual journey into deeper relationship with God. Michael Ramsey Prize (2023)

And in a way that will make you excited to be a Christian! Core Christianity covers topics like: Jesus as both fully God and fully man. The doctrine of the Trinity.
