LOVE WEEK continues with a little prayer:
LOVE Prayer
Love One Another
It’s LOVE WEEK here on GUWG.
As we’ve been discussing the past few days, 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.
So how exactly do we “love others”? That’s basically what the entire New Testament’s all about.
Here’s a selection of LOVE verses to store deep in your ♥. Meditate on ‘em. Marinate in ‘em. Memorize ‘em.
Love God
It’s LOVE WEEK here on GUWG.
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.
But how exactly do we “love God”? Isn’t that like trying to find a gift for the proverbial guy who’s got everything (literally)?
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 . . .
Love Rules
It’s LOVE WEEK 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:
Love Power

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)
Love Starts With God
It’s LOVE WEEK here on GUWG.
Yesterday, we talked about WHAT love is. Today, we’ll talk about WHO love is.
It all starts here …

When you get right down to it, the Bible is one gigantic love-fest. But few words in the English language are as misused and misunderstood as “love.” To help remedy that, from now thru Valentine’s Day we’ll take a look at love from God’s perspective.
So, what exactly is “love”? Here’s the Bible’s definition. Ask the Holy Spirit to help every single syllable seep deeeeeeep into your ♥.
God and the Super Bowl
As I sat down to write today’s post, I started thinking (always a dangerous proposition) and found myself asking the following question:
What does God
think about the Super Bowl?
Strangely enough, “Super Bowl” doesn’t appear in my Bible index. So I turned to the next best thing: Google. I did a search using the phrase god and the super bowl and in 0.24 seconds, I had more than 236 million items to choose from. Here’s a mere sampling …
Lose It
For whoever wants to save his life will lose it, but whoever loses his life for my sake will find it. What good will it be for a man if he gains the whole world, yet forfeits his soul?
(Matthew 16:25-26)
Today’s message is simple …
It Is Well
Praise be to the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of compassion and the God of all comfort, who comforts us in all our troubles, so that we can comfort those in any trouble with the comfort we ourselves have received from God.
(2 Corinthians 1:3-5)
Everything seemed to be going well for Horatio Spafford. He was a successful lawyer and businessman and had a young family of seven.
But then everything changed.
