Real Live Mystics.

Pastor Martha touched upon one of the great mysteries of our Christian faith during her sermon this past Sunday:

-Why does love last forever?
-Because love is Jesus, Jesus is love, and He Himself is eternal.

We find, in Jesus, the true definition of love: love suffers long, love is kind, love is patient. Love emphasizes the character of God (see First Corinthians 13).

Love will cause you to live a life of obedience and submission to the Father.

And love will cause you to embrace the cross, "the instrument of your death" (a quote from Pastor Sam); your personal agenda will dissolve in the inexpressible Light of God's glory.

My friends, do you love God enough to fully renounce your sins and relinquish the pleasures of this world?
