It’s LOVE-O-RAMA 2019 here on GUWG. Today, we’ll look at what Jesus himself said about love.
Some religious scholars were trying to figure out which of their zillions of rules were most important. So they asked Jesus:
Teacher, which is the greatest commandment in the Law?
Jesus replied:

To me, the freakiest part about being a Christian is that God — the creator of the universe — comes to live IN you. The Bible says:
Do you not know that your body is a temple of the Holy Spirit, who is in you, whom you have received from God? (1 Corinthians 6:19)

As we discussed yesterday, Christianity isn’t about following a bunch of rules and regulations. It’s about relationships. God wants us to (1) love Him and (2) love others. It’s that simple.

Not at all. God gives us free will. We can either love Him or reject Him. Otherwise, it wouldn’t be true love.
So, what does the Bible say? It couldn’t be clearer:

God is love.
(1 John 4:16)

So, what exactly is love? Here’s the Bible’s definition. Ask the Holy Spirit to help every single syllable seep deeeeep into your ♥.
We conclude GOD @ WORK WEEK with a little prayer that encapsulates everything we covered. (Note: If you aren’t viewing this on the web you may miss the highly creative and deeply symbolic shape formed by the words.)
Every year about this time I can’t help but ask myself the following question:
What does God think about the Super Bowl?
Since “Super Bowl” doesn’t appear in my Bible index, each Super Bowl Eve I search Google using the phrase “God and the Super Bowl.” The results are always fascinating. This year, in 0.48 seconds I got 191 million items to choose from. Here’s a mere sampling …
