Our readings in this series are from the book, Revived! Here is a brief excerpt from page 39:
“A common complaint – made more emphatic during seasons of political jockeying – is that there isn’t much love in the world. Whether the symptom is incivility, cocooning, churlishness, indifference, greed, name-calling, hoarding, blame-shifting, bullying, or any of a dozen other maladies that seem to be everywhere on the rise, the complaint is the same: ‘We just need to love one another!’
“We would do well to consider why this lack of love is so pervasive in our society. It will not surprise us to learn that Jesus has the diagnosis: ‘And because lawlessness will abound, the love of many will grow cold.’
“The reason why so little love is in evidence in our day is that people are in rebellion against God and His Law. And not just secular, unbelieving people. Believers are in rebellion against God and His Law. You might be in rebellion against God and His Law.”
For a limited time, you can order Revived! together with the previous book in our Read Moore series, The Church Captive, at no cost. Order copies for yourself and for a study group or companion. And you can download a free discussion guide for both books.
