Love Like This

This month's devotional comes from Bro Steve Brown from Heritage Baptist Church in Palmyra N.Y.

(And yes, I know it's a day late😂)


 Beloved, if God love so loved us, we ought also to love one another"

I John 4:11


Love in War

    I remember hearing a story about two friends who fought together in World War I. During battle, one was gravely wounded. The other soldier asked his lieutenant for permission to rescue him. The officer warned, "You can go, but it's not worth it- our friend is probably dead, and you may throw your life away." Ignoring the warning, the soldier crawled through the gunfire, reached his friend, and carried him back to the trench. Both were mortally wounded. The officer said, "I told you it wasn't worth it." The soldier replied, "It was worth it. When I got to him, he was still alive, and he said, 'Jim...I knew you'd come.'"

Love in Deed

God's love is not just something we receive- it's something we reflect. If He loves us enough to send His Son to die for us, how can we withhold love from others? Love isn't just a feeling- it's an action. God gave us His love so we could live it out, not just talk about it. When we put lobe into motion- through kindness, forgiveness, and care- it becomes powerful. We can all live this out in very simple ways: opening a door for someone, shaking a hand and greeting them, encouraging them, meeting a need, or sharing the gospel with them. 

Final thought

Who in your life needs to see God's love through you today? What is one way you can show that love- right now? Remember, you may be the person God wants to use to point someone to Him today.

Right or Left?

                                                         by Joshua R. Walter of Versailles, Kentucky            Left or Right? You choose. I just wanted to warn you.  “And Abram went up out of Egypt, he, and his wife, and all that he had, and Lot with him, into the south.  And Abram was very rich in cattle, in silver, and in gold. And he went on his journeys from the south even to Beth-el, into the place where his tent had been at the beginning, between Beth-el and Hai; into the place of the altar, which he had made there at the first: and there Abram called on the name of the LORD. And Lot also, which went with Abram, had flocks, and herds, and tents. And the land was not able to bear them, that they might dwell together: for their substance was great, so that they could not dwell tog...
