“ Without Love We Are Nothing ” See Also … Without Love We Are Nothing by Curtis Knapp also on SermonAudio https://www.sermonaudio.com/solo/newhopeks/sermons/228102223540/
“ Deceived By Sin And Hardened Against God ” The Lord designed us with the need for daily encouragement. To be an encourager, and to receive encouragement. We are also to encourage one another every day as if this is The Day, The Day of His glorious return. He intentionally did not give us The Day of His return but placed us on our “tippy toes” as if every day is to be lived as if this is The Day. If we do not encourage daily we will be hardened by sins deceitfulness. This has been my experience in Calvinistic Churches and Arminian Churches. We have been Hardened as The Lord forewarned us. But exhort one another every day, as long as it is called “today,” that none of you may be hardened by the deceitfulness of sin - Hebrews 3:13 (ESV)But encourage one another daily, as long as it is called “Today,” so that none of you may be hardened by sin’s deceitfulness. (NIV) You must warn each other every day, while it is still “today,” so that none of you will be deceived by sin and hardened against God (NLT)
“ Love is The Greatest. ” Love and Obedience Are The Greatest. There’s A Beauty in Obedience. There’s A Horror in Disobedience. May The Beauty of The Lord our God be upon us.
“ Monday thru Saturday ” What we do Monday thru Saturday determines what we do Sunday. If we are meditating on His Word day and night (Psalm 1) and encouraging each other day and night (Hebrews 3:13) then we will be prepared for Maximal Worship Sunday day and night. I’ve only encountered the Cookie Cutter Church filled with Hi Bye Sunday Christians. So Monday thru Saturday the Church falls silent and no one is prepared for Sunday nor anticipating it's arrival. If you show them Psalm 1 and Hebrews 3:13 they say you are taking that out of context. The Churches are committed to making God a Sunday morning “thing”. I can’t wait for that Eternal Sabbath. If you have a Monday thru Saturday Church culminating in a Maximal Sunday Worship then you should Praise The Lord because you have a foretaste of Heaven. Pray for us here in NY it’s lean, it’s hi bye Sunday morning and don’t bother us the rest of the week and we promise not to bother you.
“ Yes ” One also becomes more weary and burdened by the sin and damage one has inflicted upon others rather than the sin and damage others have inflicted upon us. We repent and turn to The Lord for restoration and we repent and turn to our neighbors and offer restoration and restitution. Love God, Love Neighbor. I’ve sinned against God and sinned against Neighbor. I think I’ve also sinned against myself? Especially when one sins against their own body?
“ Matthew 24:12 ” Because of the increase of wickedness, the love of most will grow cold. (NIV) Sin will be rampant everywhere, and the love of many will grow cold (NLT) And because lawlessness will be increased, the love of many will grow cold. (BSB)
