POP 373 - The Power of Loving God

In this episode Tony shares several very impotant things:

(1) He gives a shout out to his old friend, Larry, who just went to heaven.  God bless Larry!  God bless his life!  Larry loves the Lord and served the Lord his whole life, and now Larry is in the presence to of the Lord!

To be absent from the body is to be present with the Lord.  II Corinthians 5:8

(2)  He shares a beautiful worship song, I Love You Lord, sung by Jared Reynolds.

(3) He shares very openly about a "fear" he has that he might not have the strength he needs to continue to honor God as a single man with the expression of his sexual gift.

(4) He explores the profound teaching of the bible that explains how our love of God is what empowers our obedience to God.

25 On one occasion an expert in the law stood up to test Jesus. “Teacher,” he asked, “what must I do to inherit eternal life?” 26 “What is written in the Law?” he replied. “How do you read it?” 27 He answered, “‘Love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your strength and with all your mind’; and, ‘Love your neighbor as yourself.’” 28 “You have answered correctly,” Jesus replied. “Do this and you will live.”  Luke 10:25-28

If you love me, keep my commands.  John 14:15

Whoever has my commands and keeps them is the one who loves me.  John 14:21

Jesus replied, “Anyone who loves me will obey my teaching."  John 14:23

(5) He shares an important exhortation for us, as the sons of God, to love God so we will be empowered to obey God!
