"A New Song" June 2023
Dear fellow worker of the Christian Worship Hour:
We hear a lot about love these days. Some of it is genuine while others may be very superficial. So let’s spend some time on, “What is true love?”
v TRUE LOVE HATES. Sound a little odd? Well, if we love God we will hate sin. If we love freedom, we will hate bondage. If we love virtue, we will hate vice. If we love truth, we will hate falsehood. That is exactly what Jesus taught us, “No man can serve two masters; for either he will hate the one, and love the other; or else he will hold to the one, and despise the other. You cannot serve God and money.” (Matthew 6:24). Yes, indeed, true love hates!
v TRUE LOVE CHASTENS. When we become a child of God, God begins to make us better, to make us like Him. The Bible tells us, “For whom the Lord loveth He chasteneth, and scourgeth every son whom He receiveth”. (Hebrews 12:6). Chastening is no fun, but it produces fruit honoring God. (Hebrews 12:11).
v TRUE LOVE LISTENS. Have you ever been talking to someone, telling them the problems of your heart, only to see them looking off yonder like a gander in a strange barnyard? But when the prophet Malachi preached to the backslidden people of his day, they paid attention, they listened to God. Because they listened and repented, God was pleased, but He always listens to us! Praise His Name. (Malachi 3:16).
v TRUE LOVE CARES. Just think of our children and how much we love and care for them. Not only our children, but our grandchildren, and great-grandchildren. We care for them and watch over them because love compels us to do that. God tells of those who repented, “They shall be Mine, saith the Lord of Hosts, in that day when I make up My jewels.” (Malachi 3:17). In the New Testament Jesus told us how He cares for us. He cares by holding us in His hand! I don’t hold onto Jesus----He holds onto me! (John 10:28). But, more than that, the Father in Heaven holds the hands of Jesus! You see how much He cares for you! (John 10:29).
v TRUE LOVE ACTS. It has been said, “You can give without love (like our income tax), but you can’t love without giving.” That is if we love we will give, no way to stop it. Just think of how God loved, and how He gave! He gave His Beloved Son to die a terrible death on the cross because He loved us and made it possible to cleanse us from our sins. (John 3:16). Of course it follows; we love God because He first loved us and gave His Son to be a sacrifice for our sins! (I John 4:10). Because we love Him, we give to Him.
v TRUE LOVE ENDURES. When we come to God, we are loved with a love that will never end! Nor will it ever fail. I know I have failed Jesus, but He has never failed me. He said He would never leave me or forsake me, no matter what. (Hebrews 13:5). We sure don’t deserve that kind of love, yet we have it in Jesus. St. Paul really topped it off when he asked, “Who shall separate us from the love of Christ?” Then he names at least 18 things that cannot separate us from God’s love! (Romans 8:35-39). If you don’t have anything to do someday, try to find something Paul left out. Paul covered absolutely everything!
We appreciate you being part of our TEAM. None of us could do it alone, we need each other to keep in prayer, giving, and telling others about the love of God.
In our Savior’s love,
Pastor Salem
