Love in Action

"Yip, yap, yip, yap, debate, debate..." Do you ever get the feeling we're doing a whole lot of talking about love but not much doing it? We can talk about love all we want but that means nothing. Jesus didn't say, "They'll know you're my disciples by your philosophy about love." He said it's by our love they'll know we're His. When Jesus spoke of loving our neighbors He told the story of the Good Samaritan to make the point.  Love is an action not a theory!  It's so crucial that we know we're loved by Father.  But love can't stay dormant.  The evidence of Father's love in our lives is eventually seen through our actions and not in merely being nice to people, but in laying down our lives for others.  The world will not see Jesus through our endless yapping and Bible studies. He's seen when we love others with no agenda. That means no seeking to build our thing, market our group, or gain anything at all from them. This is what Loren and David discuss this week.
