111: Love one another | John 13:34

What the world needs now is Love. A HUGE amount of Love.

My heart aches. After so many violents acts in the past months. Terrorism, Orlando, the police shootings that happened last week, and the retaliation in Dallas. Last night, I found out a well-known pastor I love and respect is being removed from leadership for alcohol abuse that started from a strained marriage. Our world is broken. It has been broken since Adam and Eve sinned in the Garden. But the brokenness in our world is so evident today. That’s why today’s One Verse is different. No music. And it’s twice as long. But I just needed to share my heart. Our One Verse comes from some of the last words of Jesus at the Last Supper. Right after predicting his betrayal by Judas and right after reminding His disciples that He would go away, Jesus gives them a new command: Love one another.

One Verse is a short, free podcast devotional designed to help you grow closer to God through less than 5 minutes a day, 5 days a week.

Consistency trumps intensity. When it comes to working out, eating healthy, or managing our finances, consistency always trumps intensity. We reach our major life goals through small, purposeful steps taken daily. The same is true in our spiritual lives. I truly believe you will grow closer to God by spending just 5 minutes a day with Him versus cramming in an hour once a month. The One Verse Devotional is here to help take away the barriers of spending time with God. Now, during your workout, drive to work, or even shopping for groceries, you can invest in your spiritual life.
