Thoughts From a Leaky Roof

Ah, camp meeting. For those of you who have no clue what a camp meeting was, every year around this season, the Adventist churches in the western slope would gather together for the purpose of fellowshipping, worshiping, and studying with friends and family that we didn’t usually see all year. We had this yearly meeting…

Love is Resiliant

Have you ever felt like you have too much going on? Have you ever felt like everything in your life keeps falling on your shoulders? It’s difficult to persevere under such a load. It’s for this reason that most people who are strong enough not to be crushed by the troubles of life will often…

Love Does Not Look Forward to Wrongdoing

Over the past several blogs, we’ve reflected on love, what it is and what it isn’t, how it acts, and how it forgives. We’re in the best place in the Bible to do that. The love chapter is one of the most recognizable scriptures in all of religion. This makes it all the more interesting…

Love Does Not Resent

The Bible has a lot to say about how we interact with the people around us. It states that we should treat others with dignity and respect–especially those that we find ourselves in conflict with. Romans 12:17-18 teaches that the Christian Believer will value honoring others above how we feel about others. Paul also includes…

Love is not Irritable

Everyday Irritations Have you ever had a piece of popcorn kernel skin stuck in your gums? I’ll level with you. I am incapable of doing anything or focusing at all if i have a popcorn skin stuck in my teeth. Worse, i can never seem to get it out! Irritations are often little things. we…

Love Does Not Insist

For this weeks thought I’d like to briefly explore the idea of Evangelism and real Christ-like love. If love has no self interest, how is it that so much of Christianity is caught up on pushing and enforcing its own ideas? The Way of Love We continue our thoughtful journey through the Apostle Paul’s description…

Love is Not Rude

If you’ve spent any amount of time around people, you will have run into rude people. Everyone knows how to be rude. We know someone is being rude when we see it. The book of 1 Corinthians 13:5 describes love as being not rude. In the King James Version the translators use the term, “Doth not behave itself…

Love is not Arrogant

Arrogance is a disease born of poor personal insight. Self appraisal often comes with one of two biases. We either think too little of ourselves, or too highly. Unfortunately, it’s the latter that often gets rewarded. People who talk highly of themselves are more likely to be noticed at first. Still this leading edge is often…

Love is Humble

Boasting is fascinating to me. On the one hand, boasting seems fairly benign, or at least a net neutral. There’s no harm that is immediately evident by the act of saying nice things about ourselves and our accomplishments. On the other hand, boasting seems so needless. What do we genuinely gain if we impress our…

Love Does Not Envy

Envy. Envy is a negative word. It’s related to words like jealousy, resentment, and lust. While the other words may have some degree of justification in some contexts (Except lust. Lust is pretty bad in all contexts), envy is unanimously bad. I was a child not too long ago and I remember…
