love

  • Trust

    The secret ingredient of love: trust. Choosing to trust. Being trusted; and trustworthy. This is all actually required for love.

  • The problem is that we think John 10 is about punishing those who don’t follow Jesus. We get it completely wrong.

  • Peter, the Beloved Disciple, and why the way we judge ourselves keeps us from seeing how much we are truly loved.

  • In the parable of the lost sons, Jesus shows us our greatest obstacle is how much we want others to deserve our scorn.

  • Our hearts don’t just follow our treasure. They’re linked. Which means the gospel demands we love and share with others.

  • We try to follow almost everything. Except this. We really don’t want to listen to how Jesus wants us to love.
