When we hear of people preaching God-like love, there is no sacrifice. In fact, it is just the opposite. They don't want to lose anything...<BR/>no numbers in the church<BR/>no friends<BR/>no lost chance at having coffee the next day.<BR/>When facing a lost person, we must show the love of Christ on the cross. We must show people WHY He died on the cross. It was because of their sins and it was because without His death on the cross, we would all be going to hell.pastorbrianculverhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07325788116682801754noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6591518369598505341.post-40090499406852232002008-01-26T20:16:00.000-06:002008-01-26T20:16:00.000-06:00"That was me! Every sermon, the same. God loves yo..."That was me! Every sermon, the same. God loves you so much that he sent his Son to die on the cross for you."<BR/><BR/>What is sadder is that the verse, from my study anyway, has nothing to do with the "extent" of God's love, but how He expressed it. <BR/><BR/>In other words, the better translation is like "God loved the world by giving His only Son..." It isn't "He loved it so much He just couldn't help Himself..."Tim Brownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06771868540726222826noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6591518369598505341.post-67841234181932493722008-01-26T14:23:00.000-06:002008-01-26T14:23:00.000-06:00thanks Michelle! good news up here, it is actually...thanks Michelle! good news up here, it is actually 37 degree's out.
