The Love of God: Knowing, Accepting, and Walking in the Love of God

Join Pastor Robbie Pruitt, from Preserving Bible Times, as he discusses the Love of God, for Advent 4, at Landmark Community Church in Alexandria Virginia, December 12, 2023. The Love of God  Knowing the Love of God  Accepting the Love of God  Walking in the Love of God  “To love at all is to be vulnerable. Love anything and your heart will be wrung and possibly broken. If you want to make sure of keeping it intact you must give it to no one, not even an animal. Wrap it carefully round with hobbies and little luxuries; avoid all entanglements. Lock it up safe in the casket or coffin of your selfishness. But in that casket, safe, dark, motionless, airless, it will change. It will not be broken; it will become unbreakable, impenetrable, irredeemable. To love is to be vulnerable.” (C.S. Lewis, The Four Loves). “Beloved, let us love one another, for love is from God, and whoever loves has been born of God and knows God.” (1 John 4:7 ESV). “So we have come to know and to believe the love that God has for us. God is love, and whoever abides in love abides in God, and God abides in him.” (1 John 4:16).  A Collect for The Fourth Sunday in Advent: Annunciation: “Stir up your power, O Lord, and with great might come among us; and as we are sorely hindered by our sins from running the race that is set before us, let your bountiful grace and mercy speedily help and deliver us; through Jesus Christ our Lord, to whom, with you and the Holy Spirit, be honor and glory, now and for ever. Amen.” (Book of Common Prayer, 2019).  www.PreservingBibleTimes.org
