1Jn 3:18
Little children, let us not love with word or with tongue, but in deed and truth.

1 Pe 1:22 NIV
Now that you have purified yourselves by obeying the truth so that you have sincere love for your brothers, love one another deeply, from the heart.

Eph 4:15
but speaking the truth in love, we are to grow up in all aspects into Him who is the head, even Christ

God’s ultimate desire is to love... Jesus wanted to save unbelievers, not destroy them. That is a far greater display of power. It takes much more strength and conviction to walk directly into a fire to save someone than to simply extinguish the fire and lose the individual in the process.

God, even though all-powerful and right to judge us, has self-control towards us sinners, motivated by His tremendous love.

Gal 5:22-23
But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness, self-control; against such things there is no law.

God, even though all-powerful and right to judge us, has self-control towards us sinners, motivated by His tremendous love.

Ro 13:10
Love does no wrong to a neighbor; therefore love is the fulfillment of the law.

The Simple Life, With A View - Blog
As Jesus taught, the best things in life are the simplest. Living a simple life of “faith, hope, and love” (ala 1 Corinthians 13:13) is the best life to live. This wisdom produces freedom.

“angels long to look”
Angels are watching us, how we live our lives, rejoicing when we perform righteous deeds to God’s glory. They sing His praises in Heaven (Rev 4:8).

By Grace…
When God demands something of us, He does so in light of His ever-present grace. He knows (sometimes we forget) that it is impossible for mere “vessels of mercy” (Ro 9:23) to bear fruit worthy of His glory by themselves. So, He enables us.

Pr 13:4
The soul of the sluggard craves and gets nothing,
But the soul of the diligent is made fat.

No Excuses
The good Lord has made His Spirit’s messages available to all of you in multiple ways: face-to-face, live broadcasting, recorded video and audio, blogs, Bible studies, etc. Apparently, only a small percentage of NCC takes advantage of all of this. Sad.

Why do we expect to have peace apart from hanging on the Words of the Giver of peace?

Gal 6:7 [Amplified]
Do not be deceived, God is not mocked [He will not allow Himself to be ridiculed, nor treated with contempt nor allow His precepts to be scornfully set aside]; for whatever a man sows, this and this only is what he will reap.
