We’ve all had life experiences that we know aren’t ‘God’s best’, and watched others suffer spiritually, emotionally and physically in ways we know are also not ‘God’s best’ for them.

The Hundredfold Hearer lives a life with fruit that only the Word of God can produce.

Love covers a multitude of sin. Through patience, gentleness, forgiveness, bearing all things, believing the best in people and enduring all things, we shield people from the effect of sin. We show grace and allow God to work in their lives.

Love will make what we say, who we are and what we achieve of eternal significance. Without the love of God empowering our lives we are a nobody, going nowhere and making a huge fuss about getting there!

Many of the experiences and the beliefs we have about love fall short of the genuine love of God.

Fears and insecurities that have been part of our lives since we first experienced rejection limit our ability to comprehend the love of Christ. This love deficit brings about symptoms of sin and rejection that hinder our spiritual, emotional and physical well being.

Nike are lucky that intellectual property laws weren't around in the 1st century, because leading up to Jesus’ first public miracle, his mother spoke the now famous phrase- “Whatever Jesus says, JUST DO IT!”

Faithfulness is not merely what He does; faithfulness is who God is. It's His nature. We can't separate faithfulness from God. The entire world, nature, galaxies, oceans, people, are all dependant upon God's faithfulness. If He didn't keep His Word, the earth would cease to exist.

For you are a people holy to the Lord your God. The Lord your God has chosen you to be a people for his treasured possession, out of all the peoples who are on the face of the earth.  It was not because you were more in number than any other people that the Lord set his love on you and chose you, for you were the fewest of all peoples, but it is because the Lord loves you.

The Bible talks about God’s Holiness more than it talks about His power, His omnipotence or His omnipresence- combined.

How could I, being infinitesimally small on a scale of the universe, with my trivially small brain, that struggles to remember where I put the car keys, possibly hope to know and understand God?
