Does God's greatness and God's goodness bore us? Or thrill us? Joan Osborne's song reminds us to keep rediscovering our awe for our God.

Can Christians get anything from Joan Osborne's song "One Of Us?" Today we look at the first line and remember the wonder and holiness of God's name.

A lesson from an old CrossRoad song on loving with the love of Jesus, so that people can come to see the truth. Full song here: https://open.spotify.com/track/6idfC7FJ8HEPIpCMeVbAJS

Jesus didn't say "neither do I condemn you, go now and carry on as you were." Instead, he guides us away from our lives of sin, from a place of love. We must do the same for one another.

Truth flows from love, not the other way around! Do people know you as FULL of love? Like Jesus, let us always love people first, and from that place of love, we can show them the truth.

Jesus shows us in John 8 that waiting for the right moment to speak is wise. Instead of shooting our mouth off and speaking words that aren't true or loving, we are slow to speak.

Truth without love is no truth at all... love without the truth will not last... But Jesus was full of grace, and full of truth. Are we keeping our balance here?

We are His hands and feet, and we are to share His good news with everyone! Let's take responsibility, and try our best to bring Jesus to the world.

Even though God has given us salvation for free, we still TRY to please him. Not to earn His love, but BECAUSE he loves us already.

Sometimes we try our best but things don't pan out the way we had planned. In times like these we have only one option: to TRUST in God's plan, which is going ahead anyway.
