Episode Description

Love, as Paul and the New Testament present it, is not action—
not even action with a special intention—but a source of action.
– Dallas Willard

Friends,

Thousands of years ago, Saint Paul penned his breathtaking discourse on Love.

It’s been misunderstood, watered down, and robbed of its beauty by overuse. Yet the life of God still pulses through, if we but let these old words visit us in a new way:

Love never gives up.
Love cares more for others than for self.
Love doesn’t want what it doesn’t have.
Love doesn’t strut,
Doesn’t have a swelled head,
Doesn’t force itself on others,
Isn’t always “me first,”
Doesn’t fly off the handle,
Doesn’t keep score of the sins of others,
Doesn’t revel when others grovel,
Takes pleasure in the flowering of truth,
Puts up with anything,
Trusts God always,
Always looks for the best,
Never looks back,
But keeps going to the end.
Love never dies.
Inspired speech will be over some day; praying in tongues will end; understanding will reach its limit. We know only a portion of the truth, and what we say about God is always incomplete…but Love never dies.”

Love begets compassion.

Compassion begets connection.

Connection begets love.

And Love wins.

Let's dive into Part 3 of this series as we revel together in the consummation of compassion and love.

For the Kingdom,
Morgan
