   Loving with the Greatest Love

   When I’m at a barbeque and spot a bag of original Lay’s, I’m known to walk over, grab a couple, and remark, “I love potato chips!” When I’m at that same barbeque and spot my daughter, Sadie Anne, I’m known to run over, give her a hug, look straight into her eyes, and say, “I love you, Sadie Anne!” Like a potato chip? Of course not! The word “love” has an extremely wide spectrum of meanings. What is “love” according to the Bible? First, love is the greatest virtue [1 Cor. 12:31-13:13]. Second, it is the chief fruit of the Holy Spirit at work in and through our lives [Galatians 5:22-23]. Third, God is the source of all true, giving, ongoing love. God’s love for us is fully expressed by giving His Son, Jesus Christ [Titus 3:5]. God’s love also is fully expressed by adopting us as His children [Ephesians 1:5]. In both cases, God loves us with an everlasting love [Psalm 103:17]. Fourth, in 2 John 6 the apostle tells us, “Love means doing what God has commanded us, and he has commanded us to love one another.” Love, then, is what motivates us to bless others in ways that matter here and now...and for eternity. This is Andrew Palau.

   Friends

   Think about the friends that you spend the most time with. Now, how many of those people do not follow Jesus? Do you have any friends who are not Christ-followers? It is important to have close friends who share our faith. The Bible warns us against being “unequally yoked.” Christian friends can encourage us, challenge us, support us, and point us toward Jesus. But it is easy to get stuck in our own Christian bubbles, surrounding ourselves only with people who think and believe the same as us. We can forget that our mission is like Paul’s mission after meeting Christ: to “be a witness … to everyone of what you have seen and heard.” So, we need to pop our Christian bubbles. This doesn’t mean that we have to leave our Christian friends. This just means that we need to make an effort to reach out to people who do not know Jesus. Maybe this means spending time with a co-worker outside of work. Or joining a group at the local library or community center, or a book club. Or just talk to the parents of your kids’ friends. We can always find new people to befriend. When we do, we get to know another person’s world, their joys and pains, and we can show them how Jesus can speak into those joys and pain. Once we have developed a friendship, we can’t help but tell them the good news of God’s love for them in Jesus Christ. This is Luis Palau.

   Work

   American adults spend about one-third of their lives at work. That’s a lot of time! Our workplaces are part of the daily work of evangelism, where we display how God has changed our lives. We can have a good work ethic, treat others well, and engage with others honestly. We can also show everyone we work with what it looks like to “work for the Lord, not for men.” Also, because we spend so much time at work, we often get to know our co-workers well. I’ve developed great friendships with the people I work with, because I see them so frequently. They become almost like family. We should develop relationships with our fellow employees and our clients, students, or customers. Our workplaces are opportunities to show them what a true follower of Christ looks like. We might be the only Christians that our co-workers know, and some in the media often portray Christians negatively. We can fight those stereotypes by showing those we work with that the truth of Christ is freedom, love, joy, and eternal life, not hate or anger. Whatever our work is, whether it is working in an office or a store or a construction site or a living room, we should demonstrate Christ’s rule over our lives. Let’s show how following Christ makes us good people and good employees, so that others will want the goodness that we have in our lives. This is Luis Palau.
