Sunday, May 6 Twitter Love!
1 John 4:7-8
"Dear friends, let us love one another, because love comes from God. whoever loves is a child of God and knows God." (TEV, verse 7)
What if God had asked Jesus to post his religious views on Facebook or Twitter the gospel to the world? The message would be just as concise as John repeatedly gives it: God is love. Everything else flows from there. We are given just two commands! Love God and love each other. Short and sweet. Easy to understand. You would think.
But we as a collective world have made understanding Christ's Twitter so confusing. We have mixed up and messed up as we argue the details of "love one another". What if one part does this? What if we can love one day and not the next? What if? What if? So much discussion and debate that we miss the point - to love!
God's Twitter is easy to understand. There is no reason to be confused. Love God. Love each other. Practice that love. Keep the message central to our life. All else flows from there.
