163: Loving God means loving others | 1 John 4:20

Our country is in the middle of a serious crisis, and it is up to Christians to lead a movement of Love #Charlotte #BlackLivesMatter #AllLivesMatter

God is Love. This means His followers should be leading the charge in Love. Our country is hurting. It is filled with anger and fear. 1 John makes it clear that True Love drives away fear. It may sound silly, but we need Love now more than ever. It is the only thing that can bring healing. Hater, anger, fear, violence. The only weapon against these is Love. It is the only force in the universe that is stronger. I truly believe, then, that it is up to the followers of Jesus, the true Light Bearers, to lead the charge and show Love. It is only getting worse. Week after week, another incident happens. It is time for true followers of Jesus, who have experienced REAL LOVE, to turn around and freely share that Love whenever and wherever we can. Only a movement of Love can stop fear from taking over.

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.
