Our culture sucks. It has falsely identified love as something that it is not. It sees love as sex, kissing, marriage, homosexual relationships, etc. I think this is why it is so hard for us as Christians to say "I love you" to even the best of our friends. I stumble around for the words as if I didn't mean them, but in actuallity I am afraid that it will be mistaken for the worldly love. How sad. I think that is something we as Christians should fight against, we need to stand up for what love really is and not this fake crap we see on tv. Anyway, know that I love you all and that will never change.


Love is patient, love is kind. It does not envy, it does not boast, it is not proud. It is not rude, it is NOT self-seeking, it is not easily angered, it keeps no record of wrongs. Love does not delight in evil but rejoices with the truth. It always protects, always hopes, always perseveres. Love never fails. 1 Cor. 13:4-8a

Love (defined) - The Greek for this word indicates a selfless concern for the welfare of others that is not called forth by any quality of lovableness in the person loved, but is the product of a will to love in obedience to God's command. It is like Christ's love manifested on the cross.

A new command I give you: Love one another. As I have loved you, so you must love one another. By this all men will know that you are my disciples, if you love one another.
John 13:34,35

I refuse to apologize for preaching this one.
