Bible Verses Mentioned: 1 Corinthians 13:13; Hebrews 11:1, 6; Galatians 5:6; 1 John 4:7-12; 1 Timothy 1:5
Do you see how, especially as a Christian, faith, hope, & love are dependent upon and related to one another?
Thoreau said we are living, “Improved means to an unimproved end”. Dr. Martin Luther King Jr., many a decades ago asserted, “This is the serious predicament, the deep and haunting problem confronting modern man.” Do you discern the predicament?
How are you or can you walk worthy of Shane Claiborne’s insight, “What the world needs is people who believe so much in another world that they cannot help but begin enacting it now”?
Arnold Toynbee said, “Love is the ultimate force that makes the saving choice of life and good against the damning choice of death and evil. Therefore the first hope in our inventory must be the hope that love is going to have the last word.” Do you truly believe that love will have the last word? Praise God or ask for conviction.
Do you see the correlation between 1 Corinthians 13:13 and 1 Timothy 1:5?
