What is love How do we Define it? you know, it's some kind of emotional feeling or you don't want to end it and we say we feel it in our hearts.

New Testament times, they said they felt it elsewhere. You know where that is. Not the heart. in the guts in the guts, so I guess Full tummy is the Living Dummy. I don't know.

Neil genzlinger

Reviews research says that there's over 10,000 songs on file at us copyright office in Washington DC that begin with the words love is.

I didn't get a list of all 10000.

But I do have a few.

What is like dizziness that came to us 1905? What is the shoe shoe?

I was 19 12 also in 1912. Love is a sickness full of woes.

The boy must have been having a tough life. 1919 love is a babe. What is an IOU came to us in 1925 love is like the influenza was popular in 1927. Love is good for anything that ails you. Except being broke that was in 1936. Love is a dimpling Doodlebug a dimpling Doodlebug. 1943 they must been struggling for song title set year. Love is the traitor King to us in 1944 in the year. I was born 1947 love is a dog on me is dog on me. Also in the same year as his love is a prescription.

For what? What is atomic was 1950 in love is a glass of champagne in 1952? Love is on the ten yard line. 1953 in 1964 they declared that love is a bore.

What is Hell in a small hotel? I somehow think that was a country song.

Love is psychedelic came to us in 1968. Is that surprising?

Love is groovy 1969. Love is not one color child 1970. Love is a heavy number 1973 love is a four-letter word. That was in 1975 in the same year. It says love is a five letter word. Don't worry about the fifth letter.

Love Is for Suckers 1988 that must have been from Las Vegas

And Love Is Blindness dangerous in 1991. I don't know that any of those song titles Define love or even gets close to it, but it's interesting that what people can come up with to create a song and to express what they're feeling at that time. Some of them they must have been having a bad time loves a traitor. Well, you know, you can't blame a word for things like that. book from the first chapter

the first book of John 361 John 3:16 by this we know love that. He laid down his life for us and we ought to lay down our lives for our brothers.

What is this?

This is the word of the Lord. Thanks be to God for the spray for the next few moments. May your words be spoken. Mainly your words be heard. Edwards my mouth and meditation of my heart be acceptable in thy sight my rock and my redeemer. a man

the Bible gives us a much tougher requirement for love. Why is much of us it's not just that simple? Love is a Doodlebug. Blue Peppers net is relocate 1 John 3. We're going to discover exactly what what love is at least the way God sees it. What is the distinguishing Factor?

My vest it is it is evident who are the children of God and who are the children of the devil? Whoever does not practice righteousness is not of God. Where's the one who does not love his brother?

This is the message that you have heard from the beginning that we should love one another. We should not be like Cain who was of the evil one and murder his brother.

And why did he murder him because his own Deeds were evil and his brothers righteous. Do not be surprised Brothers with the world hate you. We know that we have passed out of death into life because we love the brothers. River does not love abides in death. Everyone who hates his brother is a murderer.

And you know that no murderer has eternal life abiding in him.

That's pretty tough.

That's pretty tough in line. Just in light of what's happening around this right. Now. How do you keep down the anger in the range in the Haight?

We've had mine shootings. at the oceanfront

recently resulting in 13 people being shot

How do you know if somebody that does that? I bet these questions before they're not new. Stop. Same answers. I've always had I don't know. I know what God tells us. I know my know who was supposed to do is price causes.

Are we human beings? How do we do that?

We love for somebody who's kill somebody else.

I have problems.

big problem sometimes Between a child of God and the child of the devil notice of contrast. Cain belonged to the evil one able belongs to God. Teen murdered his brother Abel love his brother.

Retain actions were evil. Abel action actions were righteous I see how that contrast with the world. In the world it belongs to the evil one.

Is that out there belongs to Satan?

Why does it why doesn't it belong to the church? Why doesn't belong to God? Why doesn't belong to Jesus Christ? Why does it belong to the evil one?

for Christians We belong to God. And it calls us to do some pretty tough things.

World hates Christians and others not think that's an overstatement. I really do. I don't think it's really that bad. Otherwise, we'd be shot at more often. Christians

Christian's love their brothers and others

in the world actions are evil. If somebody were just to take a block.

At 9 in the evening.

You want to go? downtown Denver Dallas Chicago, Columbus, Ohio. Thank you pic.

You are not going to see anything that. appears to be done in love all of this is supposed to be

Good luck.

back on track Are Christians our actions are to be righteous? that means that when you reach me that last pound of $6 a pound hamburger meat. Another person reaches for it. We're called to let it go.

Or that last package of toilet paper. Maybe not so generous with that.

We we pledge our allegiance to

how we treat others in the things we do or do not do are all indicators of our relationship with God.

As long as I've been spending up your talking of in thought I talked about our relationship with Christ that it's about a relationship. It's not about obeying laws. It's not about following a bunch of rules.

Yes, we are called in obedience. No doubt. No question about that. Jesus Christ says love love your neighbor by the protesters.

Love the people who want to hurt us easy to love our friends.

but with internal life And eternal death at scripture does not belong there.

Ben

I wish computers quit messing up.

That's okay. It's alright that'll work night on the next verse. You see we've already passed. Death to life. We died to the old. And were removed. We passed in the life no matter what happens to us. We have passed into life.

We have a responsibility to that.

Don't get me wrong. I get as angry as anybody when I see some of the stuff.

What in the world is? Okay anyway. Matt Davis County jumping it's not even there. Okay.

between hate and love again, the person who hates Is Satan's child?

Person, who hates is Satan's child.

Jesus equates hate to murder. You have heard that it was said. Those are bold you shall not murder and whoever murders. Will be liable to judgment. But I say to you that everyone who is angry with his brother will be liable to judgment. Blue Ribbon Salters brother will be liable to the council. And whoever says you fool. Will be liable. Did the Hellfire? Wow.

That's Tuff.

Me being angry with my brother. Is the same as murder?

Man, I killed two to three hundred people I guess. FaceTime guilty of it The great thing is we have a reprieve we Jesus Christ. Long as he is there with us. We still have that. the chance love is the example of Christ. He set the example he when he was asked. What is the greatest commandment? The greatest commandment was to love the Lord your God with all your heart with all your mind with all your strength and love your neighbor as yourself is very clear on that love.

Wonderfall to preach a sermon on hate as much as I do love by this. We know love that. He laid down his life for us and we ought to lay down our lives for our brother. But if anyone has the world's goods and sees his brother in need. Closes his heart against him. How does God love God's love abide in him? Little children, let us not love in the world or talk. but in deed and in truth

by this we shall know that we are of Truth. I reassure our heart before him for whenever our heart condemns us God is greater than our heart and he knows everything.

But if anyone has the world's goods and sees his brother in need yet closes his heart against him. You're it. It's sometimes hard.

Number of years ago I was driving for.

In Virginia Beach for the homeless.

Shelter, there you go, and we would shelter the homeless in churches during winter at night. And I drove one of the vans that went and picked. Some of the people up down the oceanfront. What day is coming out with fall coming out of work done on Virginia Beach Boulevard. There's two gentlemen who are standing on the corner and it was cold. It was bitter.

And I was driving us. Ford Ranger is only place for two people to sit. And I told him I said where you going they told me it's okay. I'll take you down there as soon as I can only get two people in the front seat. But he also have to ride in the bed. One guy says well, I'll I'll I'll I'll find another way is okay. Anyway all the way down there is it when I drop the guy off I had a real nice pair of good fitting work gloss insulated work gloves. They will warm they fit me perfectly. I never had a pair of gloves that fit so nicely. And I gave them to this guy. I didn't feel bad about that. But then when I went to pick up the homeless, I noticed he didn't have many more to find out he traded them for a bottle of booze.

I was kind of upset by this. Well Ellis Taylor who was a lady who work with the homeless I ate she saw that I was upset and we talked about it and she said those gloves weren't yours. You gave me away. What's a person chooses to do with them is none of your business? And I've tried to live by that. What you give it away? Don't have any control over it anymore.

but when we do the right thing

we can help with somebody else does with it. It is easier to be enthusiastic by Humanity with a capital h. Then it is to love individual men and women, especially those who are uninteresting exasperating depraved or otherwise unattractive. Loving everybody in general. Play me an excuse for loving nobody in particular. That's from csusm you as hello Lewis. If you think about it, it's true. It's much easier to Proclaim. I love everyone.

It's a look at some. When was person? Then I can only speak to you from five feet away because the aroma is up in my face.

It's easy to love you manatee. Are you love that homeless person? That's what Luis is saying. That's not easy. It's easy to love you, man. If you could have used to use it to go down where the homeless or hanging out and sit around and talk. Google library where they really aren't hanging out there right now, but go Library where they hang out in the in the summer and when he gets real hot or in the winter when it's real cold. Think about it. Not easy to love them. Love your confidence before God. whoops There we go. It's right beloved. If our heart does not condemn us. We have confidence before God. And whatever we ask we receive from him because we keep his Commandments and do what is what pleases him.

And this is his Commandment that we believe in the name of his son Jesus Christ and love one another just as he commanded us. Whoever keeps his Commandments abided the bites in God and God in him. And by this we know that he abides in Us by the spirit whom he is giving us.

I depend on the Holy Spirit. Be able to do what I do.

My prayer before I come up here is Lord your words not mine because I know if it's my words. I'm going to mess it up. Are we come in confidence with confidence in confidence when we stand before God In Prayer?

Are you gross wouldn't you?

There went I push it about 20 times and finally doesn't.

Let us draw near with a True Heart in full Assurance of faith and speaking of Faith. That's what our next series going to be on. restaurant near with a True Heart in full Assurance of faith without heartspring sprinkle clean from an evil conscience in our bodies washed with pure water.

earthquake news story about himself

I said I was traveling from Boston to Denver in the departure area for my flight was buzzing with Stern looking men in dark suits. talking into their lapels FBI I asked a flight attendant what was happening and she replied just wait you'll see. After we settled into our economy seat economy class seats to the dark suited man arrived in first class followed by former President Gerald Ford. I said a few rows away. I thought I'd never met a president before I'll go down and introduce myself.

And hopefully live through it.

but then I wondered why would he want to meet me? I I didn't even vote for him. Then I remembered that during my years in seminary I had met President Ford's son Mike. Walmart store the first class before the Secret Service man could stop me and drop me to the ground. I spoke boldly President Ford. I was I just wanted to meet you. I know your son Mike.

We talked briefly mostly about Mine. Mine's named had given me Authority. approach the president

guess what friends, you know the name of Jesus Christ, which gives you the authority to approach God?

You know that name, you know the person. well

after spending some time in this and I really spent a lot of time on this sermon and I don't know why because it's such a simple one. and it's not

I have to do some self-examination. Do I meet what God expects of me?

You are staying too because I stand before God. Do I want to stand before God am I ready to stand before God and he looks at me and what's he going to say? What I hope he says is welcome home good and faithful servant. He's going to say is you can come in but you go to the back of the line.

We have the right to approach him regardless.

Koala Brothers way Jesus Loves Me no

I can answer that quickly.

I'm not strong enough to love that much.

Wish I could.

Wish I could.

So, what's the next step?

You know, we don't have to work for a Salvation. It's already there. You've already got it. If you accepted Jesus Christ as your lord and savior, you already have it. You don't have to do works.

You don't have to work to gain it or to make it Greater. We do need to be in obedience for what he's done for us and what he called us to do.

but if you've accepted Jesus Christ

Welcome home. amen
