Jeff's Journal

Our Lenten theme for Sunday is love.

Please read Matthew 22: 34-40, Matthew 5:43-48,

   and 1 Corinthians 13:13

"For God so loved the world…"

   Most of you can complete that phrase

      from John 3:16.

We take that as evidence

   that our creation and all of creation

   was a expression of Holy love.

The ground we walk on is consecrated

   with the pure love of a God who sought

   companionship and joyous obedience

      from the very humanity he spoke

      into the fullness of life.

Love is the spiritual glue

   that keeps the world from blowing apart,

   relationships from becoming vendettas,

   and friendships from turning sour.

Love is the only thing that has the power

   to bring enemies to peace.

Love is about the only thing

   that makes life worth living.

We will talk about love this Sunday.

Don't miss it!

Moving to the deeper places,

Jeff
