ALL WE NEED IS LOVE!

We who are strong have an obligation to bear with the failings of the weak, and not to please ourselves. (Romans 15:1 ESV)

This week, I begin a verse by verse look at a wonderful chapter of Scripture which will accomplish two things:
– Bring Hope to Others
– Bring Strength to Us.

Many of us live by the Westminster Confession of Faith which says “the Chief End of man is to glorify God and to enjoy Him forever“. I can launch into 15 sermons on that alone because it is so rich, it will cause your spiritual heart to explode with joy unspeakable at our God Incredible! Amen!

This leads me to the Greatest Commandment, according to the Lord Jesus, which is “Love the Lord Your God with all your heart, and all your soul and all your might”! Moving on, Romans 15, for the most part, is similar to a farewell love letter from the Apostle Paul, who is exhorting us to be like Christ. We are called here to be the Example of Christ…to love like Christ, Who said that the Second Greatest Commandment was to “love your neighbor as yourself”.

MIGHTY MAN OF GOD!

“I am Patrick, a sinner, most unlearned, the least of all the faithful, and utterly despised by many.” “I was like a stone lying in the deep mire; and He that is Mighty came and in His mercy lifted me up.” (PATRICK OF IRELAND)

A few years ago, I wrote a gospel Tract for the St. Patrick’s Day Parade and had 7000 printed for distribution (most of which were handed out to thousands of parade goers here in Springfield, Illinois). For most of the last decade, up to a month ago,  our men’s ministry owned a 1955 Classic American La France Fire engine pumper and we used that as a hook to attract hundreds of thousands to the Cross of Christ.

My reason for writing my own tracts, (which I do from time to time) was to show an entire generation of people here that Patrick of Ireland is NOT about getting drunk on green beer each year; doing outrageous things to get green beads or eating corned beef. In fact, none of that stuff is Irish and/or Christian.
