Jesus said the great commandments were to love God and love others.
No wonder Paul placed such an emphasis on love in his understanding of the Christian life.
He prayed others would abound in love.
We, too, should pray this for others and for ourselves

God is our Father, our Daddy,  to whom we can always come.
Jesus calls us His "friends."
Does that mean God is someone we can just chill with?
What about those verses that talk about the "Fear of the Lord" and tell us holy men couldn't even look upon God without falling down as dead men?
Join me for today's Daily Word & Prayer to learn more about this paradox

(Note: This recording had some technical difficulties, but I think it's important enough that I posted it anyway.)
Disney has chosen to make the education of young children on transgender issues their top priority.
What does this tell you about their company?
What does it tell us about the state of our culture?
What ought a Christian to do in times like this?
Is this the proverbial "hill to die upon"?
