Proud - But Lost - #5740
Do you know what God does with us men when we refuse to admit that we're lost without Him? In His love, He brings something into our life that we can't control, and we can't fix. Maybe He's doing that for you right now. He's showing you what's actually been true all along: you're not really in control, no matter how much you thought you were.

The Magnet In That Old Hunk of Wood - #5735
Not Christianity, not rituals, not beliefs, not even the great teachings and miracles of Jesus. It was His cross. See, there really is a magnet in that old hunk of wood; a magnet that draws us to the foot of that cross to see how very much He loves us.

The Painful Road to Beauty - #5719
Any person you know who reflects the radiance and the beauty of a life filled with God, I can guarantee you they have gotten that way, not primarily through their good times but through their great pain and struggle of the stripping processes of God.

Love your enemy - a Christian perspective
Jesus frequently challenged human assumptions about justice and godly behavior. When enemies oppress us, our natural instinct is to hate them and seek revenge--but Jesus says that we ought to respond to their hate with love.

"Love is kind" in the Bible: 1 Corinthians 13:4
This passage describes the qualities of true love. Among other things, it is kind and gentle, characteristics that should be evident in our relationships and words.

"Walk" in the Bible: 2 John 1:6
God makes it clear how we can demonstrate our love for Him: by simply obeying His commands. When we walk in accordance with His will, we show that we love Him.

"Grow" in the Bible: Philippians 1:9-11
The writer of this passages expresses his desire that our love would "abound more and more"--in other words, that it would grow as we mature in the faith. The Christian life is not a spiritually static experience; as we commit more deeply to Christ, we should see an increase in grace in our own life and behavior.

"Love" "Brother" in the Bible: 2 Peter 1:5-8
In a litany of qualities to aspire to, 2 Peter talks of brotherly kindness and love. The author urges us to not just rest easy once we have faith, but to continue to add to that faith so that we might be effective and productive.

Surrender in the Bible: 1 Corinthians 13:2-3
The idea of "surrendering ourselves to the flames"--becoming a martyr for Christ--seems like it would be the most extreme and holy form of devotion to God. But this passage teaches us that even such an extreme act gains us nothing, if our lives and relationships are not characterized by love.
