The world says, ‘this is love’.
But GOD says, ‘this is love’.
Love does not delight in evil but rejoices with the truth. It always protects, always trusts, always hopes, always perseveres. Love never fails. (1 Corinthians 13:6-8)
Just because lips have met doesn’t mean hearts have joined. (I Kissed Dating Goodbye)

I have been crucified with Christ and I no longer live, but Christ lives in me. The life I live in the body, I live by faith in the Son of God, who loved me and gave himself for me.
Galatians 2:20
Mediator: a negotiator who acts as a link between parties.
Jesus is the ONLY link to the father.
Jesus answered, “I am the way and the truth and the life. No one comes to the Father except through me. John 14:6
So Christ himself gave the apostles, the prophets, the evangelists, the pastors and teachers, 12 to equip his people for works of service, so that the body of Christ may be built up 13 until we all reach unity in the faith and in the knowledge of the Son of God and become mature, attaining to the whole measure of the fullness of Christ
Ephesians 4:11-13

“Here’s the thing. If abortion is the sanitary, morally-neutral act that pro-choice advocates want us to believe it is, then why the horror at the images? The simplest explanation is that the images are horrifying, and that they force us to confront the inconvenient reality that if the image of the act is horrifying, maybe the act itself is horrifying, too.”

“Then one said unto him, Behold, thy mother and thy brethren stand without, desiring to speak with thee. But he answered and said unto him that told him, Who is my mother? and who are my brethren? And he stretched forth his hand toward his disciples, and said, Behold my mother and my brethren! For whosoever shall do the will of my Father which is in heaven, the same is my brother, and sister, and mother.” —Matthew 12:48-50 Everyone who obeys the Gospel is EQUAL to Mary. That is what Jesus taught in Matthew 12:48-50. Clearly, Jesus was diminishing the idea that His earthly family was special in any way. Jesus loved them; but He clearly placed more emphasis upon the family of God, which is composed of all believers. Thus, we shouldn’t recognize Mary, Jesus’ mother, as being anything more than a dirty rotten sinner deserving of Hell, just like you and me. I don’t mean to sound unkind; but that’s just the plain truth. Mary needed to get born-again just like anyone else. Salvation is of God, NOT Mary or the Church.

Yesterday was a wake-up call.
I really can’t be a “on-the-fence” Christian any more. I got to commit, and I did. God help me to be strong and stay faithful.
Amen.

I was talking to my boyfriend about lukewarm Christianity and the state of the American church, and he said this:
“Jesus didn’t die for you to follow a part of the Gospel.”
We cannot have God’s love without God’s judgment. It is that simple. Yes, God loves you and yes, Jesus died for you. No…
