"Love of God and Missions"
* Intro: If anything true about God, it is that He is love
- Love all over airwaves, yet one of most misunderstood concepts
* Agape love
- Usually thought of as unconditional love
- More importantly, primarily a love of will rather than emotions
- Lord's love not emotional since there is no enjoyment in sinner under wrath
- Lord loves by His will; His nature is to love
* Mark12:29-31: all commandments boil down to two
* If you were arrested today for loving God, would there be enough evidence to convict you?
* Love languages
- Treat people not in way you wish to be treated but in way they wish to be treated
* Eph5:33
- 75% men choose alone/unloved over inadequate/disrespected
- 80% women insecure about their significant other's love (higher numbers for younger and with young children)
* "But you don't know my spouse" -- doesn't matter; love an act of will
* Marriage not for either spouse, but for Lord. Spouse main tool for Lord to accomplish His work in your life, to prepare & support you for His work
* Lord wants us to love the least of these, the invisible ones
