Shortly before His death, Jesus spoke to His disciples about love – the love He had for them and the love they were to have for Him.
“Greater love has no one than this, that one lay down his life for his friends. You are My friends if you do what I command you” (John 15:13-14).

Failing to See God’s Love
Posted on May 12, 2011 at 6:44 pm by Andy Sochor
It seems almost unfathomable for the people of God to question His love for man. Yet this is what we see the people of Israel doing at the beginning of the book of Malachi. God told the people, “I have loved you.” But the people questioned God: “How have You loved us?” (Malachi 1:2). Let [...]
How Could a Loving God Send Anyone to Hell?
Posted on March 11, 2011 at 8:08 pm by Andy Sochor
Many people struggle with the above question. We know that God, by His very nature, is love (1 John 4:8), and that Hell is a place of eternal torments (Matthew 25:41,46). How then could God condemn anyone to such a place? This doesn’t fit with the concept many people have of a loving God. Therefore, [...]

The title of this article may sound a little odd. But let me begin by stating that this article is not about how organized religion is wrong. It is not. The point of the article is not to say that religious people are not righteous. Many of them are, and they should be. So what [...]

King David is described as a man after God’s own heart (Acts 13:22). While there are many qualities of David we should emulate, I want us to consider just one in this article — his love for others.
David showed love for a broad range of people. We can see the love and kindness he shared [...]
True Love
Posted on February 15, 2007 at 6:48 pm by Andy Sochor
Love is a favorite topic for many in the religious world. While it is good for us to talk about love, John warns us not to stop there. “Little children, let us not love with word or with tongue, but in deed and truth.” (1 Jn. 3:18) That is, we must display love in our [...]
