Love Recovered
© Thomas Kinkade ~ Streams of Living Water Out of His great love for this church that abandoned their first love, the Lord Jesus offers the solution to their problem. This is a great act of grace and reveals to us His great care and concern for His bride (cf. Eph. 5:25-27). This provides us with a good lesson on how to graciously confront sin. Consider His counsel to the…
Love Abandoned
© pixel974 – Fotolia.com Love is a very important truth taught in the Scriptures. John wrote the profound words “God is love” (1 John 4:8) and this great love of God was put on most beautiful display when the Lord Jesus Christ died on the cross as a substitute for His people. The Scripture says, “but God shows his love for us in that while we…
Christ Exalting Communication
Communication is a gift from God. He spoke the universe into existence (Gen. 1:1-31); He speaks to us through His Son (Heb. 1:2), and the Scriptures are often referred to as Word of God (eg. 1 Thess. 2:13). God communicates. Communication occurs when there is an imparting or sharing of information. Communication can come in many forms like speaking, writing a letter,…
How is your Love for other Christians?
The apostle John said, “Beloved, let us love one another” (1 John 4:7a). How are you doing with that? Do you have a great love for other believers?

A Portrait of the Christian Life
What does a Christian look like? When the gospel has taken effect in a person’s life, their life has been transformed. The old has become new (2 Cor. 5:17) and the dead is now living (Eph. 2:5; Col. 3:13). For this reason there are clear and obvious changes in the life of believer. In this post I would like to refer to them as a portrait of the Christian Life. In…

Bringing Back Backsliders
The individual that “wanders from the truth” (5:19) has come from within the Christian fellowship (“among you”). They could be a genuine believer who is backsliding, or an individual who has not been converted. In either case, it is the church’s responsibility to bring them back.
The Roles in Marriage: Husbands
What does the Lord require of a husband? Husbands are to make sure that they are fulfilling their role in leading their wives with love. Husbands are to love their wives just as Christ loves the church (Eph. 5:25). The word for love goes beyond romantic affection. This word has to do with an unconditional loyalty and commitment – a love that keeps on loving. This…
