A More Excellent Way—Love 3

Austin Gardner • July 4, 2022

Love gives value to anything else we do

I Corinthians 13 makes it clear that love is better than anything else. Love is better than all spiritual gifts. It is a more excellent way. Love is exceedingly beyond anything else.


Love is better than money and financial security, all possessions and things. A massive mistake is the idea that giving stuff or even time is more important than love.


Love gives value to anything else we do. Without love we are just making noise and giving off hot air. If we do not love all else becomes worthless.


Understanding the Bible without love will only give knowledge that puffs up. No matter how much faith one has it is worthless without love. No matter how much you give or how many people you help without love there is no profit.


Love is what the family needs. Love is what the church needs. God is much more interested in why we did something than what we need.


God will test what we have done to see what sort of work it was. 1 Corinthians 3:13. The Word of God is able to discern our thoughts and the very intents of our heart. Hebrews 4:12


The only way what we do has value is if we do it out of unselfish, unconditional, sacrificial love. True love gives real meaning, real profit, and real substance.


To express love we have to experience it first. The cross is where we experience true, undeserved, grace, forgiveness, and love. I John 7-8 makes it clear that we can love one another because love is of God. The fact that we are born of God gives us the ability to love. If we do not love then we do not know God.


We can love one another because we have experienced the love of God. As we abide in Christ we will bring forth His fruit and without Him we can do nothing. John 15:5. Galatians 5:22


Maybe the most beautiful is that the love of God is shed abroad, given generously, through us by the Holy Spirit of God Romans 5:5.


Hate can not live in us because if we love God we will love our brother. I John 4:20. We want to learn more every day about how to express God’s love to all around us. We do not love because anyone deserves it but because God loves through us.

Gratitude, a sentiment often tucked away in the recesses of our hearts, possesses the transformative power to enrich not only our lives but also the lives of those around us.

In January of 1987 Betty, the kids, and I arrived in Querétaro, Mexico to study Spanish. I literally didn’t know ten words. I am forever indebted to Georgia, Hermana Luisa, Webb for the language institute she ran for many years. She was strict. She pushed hard. Betty cried on more than one occasion. Without the challenge I know that I never would have learned the language. The language school gave me structure, discipline, help learning what to do next. Read the rest of the letter then go watch this video the BBF did of Miss Webb. When you get this letter, Lord willing, Betty and I will be in Mexico and we will be visiting this wonderful godly lady. I thought of this lady often over the years. I remembered how hard she had been on me. I remembered being tortured it seemed but I survived Hermana Luisa and she made me a thriving missionary.  Thank you Hermana Luisa for helping a red neck Tennessee hillbilly learn enough Spanish to do some ministry. God bless you. So know that language school might be very beneficial for you. Efficient Resource Utilization: Organized lesson plans and materials ensure learners make the most of their study time, covering essential language elements in a coherent manner. Clear Learning Objectives: Well-organized courses outline clear learning objectives, helping learners understand what to expect and what is expected of them. Resource Accessibility: Organized language schools provide learners with easy access to a variety of resources, including textbooks, multimedia materials, and language software.
