OUTLINE:

Holy love cannot help but express itself.

Mt 6:1
“Beware of practicing your righteousness before other people in order to be seen by them, for then you will have no reward from your Father who is in heaven.”

Mt 16:23
But he turned and said to Peter, “Get behind me, Satan! You are a hindrance to me. For you are not setting your mind on the things of God, but on the things of man.”

Jesus’ Litmus Test re: Love
What is love if it is only able to shine when it is present in others? Is that a godly love at all? (ref: Jn 3:16; 15:13)

Rejecting Identity Politics in Religion (Blog - 8/28/22)
Love will always trump hate. Good always triumphs over evil. We must have faith that God will tend to those acting satanically, especially those who are His children. Our best defense is to love those whose weaknesses manifest as divisiveness.

Is 53:7
He was oppressed, and he was afflicted, yet he opened not his mouth; like a lamb that is led to the slaughter, and like a sheep that before its shearers is silent, so he opened not his mouth.

Eph 6:10-11
Finally, be strong in the Lord and in the strength of his might. Put on the whole armor of God, that you may be able to stand against the schemes of the devil.
