Thoughts on Today's Verse...

"Talk is cheap!"

"You can tell me with your words, but I want to see it in your life."

"Put your life where your mouth is."

We know the slogans; now let's live and love in truth. In a world where barter has replaced sacrificial and steadfast love, let's go against the grain and truly love with our words and actions.

Video Commentary...

We've included Phil's ToGather video from four years ago as an added blessing to our verse today:

My Prayer...

Sacrificial Father, I confess to you that at times I am selfish. Other times, my intentions are good, but my follow-through and faithfulness are lacking. I invite your Spirit to empower and enable me to be what I hope to become: a disciple of Jesus who loves with actions and truth. May your love be seen in my actions of genuine concern today. I pray this in Jesus' name. Amen.
