Loves Hopes Are Fadeless

Loves' hopes are fadeless under all circumstances, and it endures everything [without weakening].

Hopeth all things, is the KJV of 1 Cor 13:7 for the study we will look at today.

This word Hopeth, all by itself, was "elPIS" in the original text and simply meant to desire of some good with the expectation of obtaining it.

Generally. Spoken especially of those who experience the hope of salvation through Christ, eternal life, and blessedness. Of a hope in or on… Continue

Love Believes The Best In Everyone

Love believes the best of everyone. Love is ever ready to believe the best of every person.

Too often we (I'm still just talking about those whom are in Christ) are drawn to hear the worst about someone.

In this area of our study, I think we should consider how often we find ourselves focused, or concerned, or even amused by negative things we here about those we are suppose to love, and how wrong it is.

Remember, God looks at the heart… Continue

Cell Block 316

Its not those bars that hold her prisoner,

Its something stronger deep within her.

Something that was always there,

confusion was what she'd declare.

But now with so much looking back,

confusion couldn't be the tack.

Though justified, she was always mean,

still… Continue

Love

What if God loved and then took it back.

Is that the way we'd expect love to act.

What if in one more day someone would turn to Him.

only to find that their struggle rest solely on whim.

The patience of Gods' love must be greater you see.

More patient with Himself than we think it should be.

To say it was love and then take it back...

What kind of love would you call that.

Adding conditions that if just one could not… Continue

Love Bears Up Under Anything

Love bears up under anything and everything that comes. Bears up in spite of all things evil, and is not overcome. This is the idea of "beareth." Love bears up against the tide of evil, as the rock against the waves.

When a man and woman marry, they vow to love each other "in sickness and in health, for richer or poorer, for better or worse." This type of love is characteristic of the love described in I Corinthians 13. This kind of love, we have learned in our other… Continue

Softer Than Air

Softer Than Air

Eight hours now without a break,

don't they know that her feet ache.

Running late to pick up the kids,

their Dads is in jail for selling lids.

I love you the words were softer than air,

Startled she turns but no one is there.

Sneak past the landlord one time again,

delaying her rent until the weekend.

Need to make dinner but the cupboard is bare,

praying to someone that just doesn't… Continue

Love Takes No Account of Evil

Love takes no account of the evil done to it. Here again, the King James rendering, just doesn't cut it for me. It renders I Cor 13 verse 5 as "...thinketh no evil", but when you dig a little deeper into the original use of these words, you see that this refers to: a taking into account of things, and in this particular case, the thing is "NO EVIL".

Now in keeping within the context that this verse is in, we are talking about how LOVE, TAKES NO ACCOUNT OF THE EVIL DONE TO IT, another… Continue

The Light

I held this love up to the light,

to see what grips my heart so tight.

What secret power lies within,

that softens hearts of callus men.

I held this love up to the light,

searching for the source so bright.

Could this love just be my own,

that reaches out to all unknown.

I held this love up to the light,

to understand with all my might.

The answer came from up above,

it was the 'Light' that was this… Continue

Love is Not Conceited

Love is not conceited (arrogant and inflated with pride) (ou physiOUtai) Original Greek Definition: To inflate, blow or puff up. In the NT spoken only figuratively of pride or self-conceit. Also from phySAo-:emphySAo- (1720), to breathe on, blow on. Before we get into this section of Love, I wanted to share something from Calvin.

"Nothing swells the minds of men so much as a high notion of their own wisdom"

(Calvin, p. 471).

We, Christians, know that… Continue

Love is Not Envious

Love is not envious (ze-LOo-, original Greek, and is from the word (ZE-los) or zeal), which means; To be zealous, filled with zeal, zealously affected; to make a show of zeal, to profess affection in order to gain someone as a follower. Also, the word "not" refers to ever,... So, actually you would say that Love never is envious, nor boils over with jealousy, First, let me say that we are stiil talking about the kind of love that God wants us to have for Him and for everyone else in our… Continue

Love and Hate

Many people that I have talked to, speak of love and hate as opposite from each other. My friends, it's just not true. Something is opposite love but it is not hate. What it is and why this is important for us to know, is the object of this section in our study of love.

We know that God is Love and so love is not something God created.

I John 4 8. He who does not love has not become acquainted with God [does not and never did know Him], for God is love.

God is… Continue

Love Is Patient

Patience, in the original Greek language was mak-roth-oo-meh'-o Origin: from the same as 3116: patient, persevering, bear long, be long-suffering, be patient, have patience, have long patience, to bear long, be long-suffering, patiently endure.

Patience comes into the Christian by grace, through the Holy Spirit. It is the fruit of Gods Love, now abiding in us, as a result of our decision to Trust in and Rely upon Him. This Patience is developed, over time through the indwelling of… Continue

This Thing Called Love

This is a study of Gods Word concerning the source; importance; meaning; and application of the teachings about Love.

The verses from Mat 22:34-40 and the first three verses of I Cor 13 (together) had been on my mind for some time before I attempted to prepare this study. It seemed like the Lord would not let me rest with the relevance of this subject in relation to the teachings of the church.

While you will find many loving churches that teach subjects relating to love,… Continue

Define a Witness Warrior

The definition of a Warrior is someone who is engaged aggressively or energetically in an activity, cause, or conflict. So I'm posing a question to you today - Are you a witness warrior for Christ? Are you agressively or energetically involved in being a witness? Is the cause of soul winning something that you are actively pursuing?

Please share your stories that will define you as a Witness Warrior.

Christian Service

SERVING OTHERS

CHERRY M. STOLTZ © 2007

Am I To Be A Suffering Servant Too?

Am I really called to be like Christ?

Am I called to lay down my life for my brother?

Am I to love my neighbour as I love myself?

Is this possible?

Yes, my child . . .

But, Lord, who is my neighbour?

Is he the one next door who gets under my skin,

and reminds me least of You?

The one who is constantly complaining and… Continue

Pursuing The One True God

We pursue God because we are pursued by Him. We aren’t thrown to the wind by Him to see if we can find out way Home alone. He pursues us. He draws us. Even as we seek Him, He is the One in control.

Jesus says that no one comes to Him unless the Father draws him. Each step of the way, each time I wistfully looked farther down the road hungering for a Reality that I was so sure of and yet so unclear about, He was there guiding me, drawing me, pursuing me in my pursuit of… Continue
