God is Love - Thinketh no Evil
What does it mean when 1 Cor. 13 says that love "keeps no record of wrongs" or "thinketh no evil"? Does that mean we have to forgive and forget? If God is Love, does he forgive and forget? Let's take a look!

God is love (not rude, not self seeking)
Is God really love - in all it's ways? "Not self-seeking" doesn't feel like it describes him, he says we have to follow his rules, go through him to get to heaven... On this episode we explore what it means to be rude or self seeking, and if God gets a pass on this one or not.

God is Love (Does not boast)
So glad to be back! This episode, we continue our dive into "God is Love" and what that means. We discuss the portion of 1 Cor. 13 that says "love does not boast, and is not proud" and how this too is a description of God himself - because He is Love.

God is... Love (patient)
Knowing who God is is an essential first step to healing, In knowing who he is we know we can trust him, and in trusting him, we learn who he says we are and are able to embrace it as true. Living in our identity in Christ brings the fullest, most freeing healing.
We will go one step at a time through 1 Cor. 13 as we explore "God is Love". First - Love is patient.
