Rev. Dr. Stacey M. Cox
Sunday's Sermon: "A Deadly Love"
I John 2:15-17
There's always the temptation to open a Bible and go directly to the encouraging and assuring passages. Who doesn't need to hear, "And we know that in all things God works for the good of those who love him, who have been called according to his purpose" (Rom. 8:28)? Or, "Cast your cares on the LORD and he will sustain you" (Psalm 55:22). Yet, there are verses that are easy to ignore. Here's one verse we quickly run by: "Do not love the world or the things in the world" (1 John 2:15). It's abrupt, to the point, comprehensive, and uncomfortably intrusive. Let's face it; it isn't a verse we tend to underline when we come across it in our daily Bible reading. But we should, for it contains a life-saving message if we'll but take it to heart. Join us Sunday for "A Deadly Love"!
