Blog

At this time of year, I spend time thinking of my friends and brothers and sisters in Christ around the world. I appreciate their love and the good news I receive through Facebook and other mediums.
I wish we could all be together, but we will have to wait until heaven to join with God in the ultimate reunion.
In the meantime, I leave you and encourage you with this verse about the love and hope that inspire us, from 1 Thes. 1:3.
We remember before our God and Father your work produced by faith, your labor prompted by love, and your endurance inspired by hope in our Lord Jesus Christ.
And, just as 1 Corinthians 13:13 reminds us, these truly are the best and everlasting virtues: faith, hope, and love—the ones that remain and that are the embodiment of the abundant life, promised in John 10.
And so, to close out our blog theme for the year, we are going to focus on those three virtues: faith, hope, and love.
What do they mean to you? How do we see them played out in our everyday lives? How do they help us to bring a close to this calendar year and prepare for what God has in store for the next year?
Faith. Hope. Love.
