The Pastor's Corner
Something to think about while celebrating Valentine’s Day: There was a song sung by John Paul Young called "Love is in the Air". Well that would b e wonderful if it were true, however most of what we hear in the air is not about love! How can we say such things? Because according to 1 John "God is love" and unless we count hearing His name used in vain we can concede that there is not much love in the air.
Researchers tell us that what surrounds us the majority of the time is what influences our decisions, feelings and motives. That being said, think about your environment? How much of God's love is in the air around you?
We tend to bounce everything off of the values that are near at hand, which explains why people with differing environs react in a variety of ways, The people of the world embrace worldly values and thus react contrary to believers in Jesus Christ who are to set their moral values on what He did and spoke. And if His love is unknown or only partially accepted then the world will hear a blurred message about Him through us.
The world is searching for "Love to be in the Air", and is frustrated by what is being exhibited by believers. The world's concept is that believers are intolerant, judgmental and hate all who choose to live away from God's love. In the Scriptures we see that Jesus hung out with sinners, and was condemned by the religious of his day for doing so. "For God did not send His Son into the world to condemn the world, but to save the world through him." - John 3:17
Remember, the world will stand in front of God - not us - to be judged. So let the world hear from us that God's "Love is in the Air"!
