- The Marvelous Loving Kindness Of God -
It is impossible to analyze God's love for man! It is impossible to categorize God's love for man! No one else in this world loves you and I like God loves you and I. There is a level of peace that only God can give and there is a degree of love that only God can express.
- God's Loving Kindness Is Marvelous In It's Origin! (Jeremiah 31:3)
God's love for you and I had no beginning. Before the earth was created, God loved us. God never decided to love us... He always loved us. God's love for you and I will never end. When overwhelmed with loneliness and sorrow, remember Jeremiah 31:3, "I have loved thee with an everlasting love."
- God's Loving Kindness Is Marvelous In It's Objects!
God's love you you and I is not based upon anything "lovely" about you and I. It is not the proud, haughty, and self-righteous ones that understand the marvelous love of God, but the poor, humble, contrite sinner (see Romans 5:8; 1 Corinthians 1:26-29).
- God's Loving Kindness Is Marvelous In It's Outpouring! (John 3:16)
It is incomprehensible to me that God would love me enough to give His only begotten Son as a offering for MY sin and to suffer the eternal judgment of God in MY place, and not for mine only, but for the sins of the entire world (see 1 John 4:10).
- God's Loving Kindness Is Marvelous In It's Obstinacy! (Romans 8:35-39)
To be "obstinate" means to be inflexible; immovable; unyielding. There is NOTHING that can uproot or change God's marvelous, eternal, and unyielding love for you and I! There is nothing I can do, nothing another human being can do, and certainly nothing the Devil can do to alter God's perfect love for you and I!
No one else loves you and I like God loves you and I! What a blessing!
We are excited about our Annual World-Wide Faith Promise Missions Conference coming up April 29-May 3. Brother Dan Delong is our featured speaker and we have three missionary families joining us: The Weber family heading to Mongolia; the Grinstead family heading to Argentina; and the Kevkota family heading to Nepal. What a privilege to have an active part in taking the Gospel into all the world!
This Sunday morning at 10:45 a.m. I'm bringing the next message in our series, "The Blessed Old Book" dealing with prophecy and the Bible. In the evening we'll be preaching a message from James chapter 2 entitled "The Faith Of A Harlot."
Follow us on Facebook or Twitter to keep up with what is happening around here and, please check out our website at www.mlibc.org.
Bring your Bible and a friend and I'll be looking for you Sunday!
Sincerely, your friend,
Dr. Dennis Leatherman - Pastor
