1 Corinthians 13:13, And now abide faith, hope, love, these three; but the greatest of these is love
Faith Works by Love
Galatians 5:6
NKJV - For in Christ Jesus neither circumcision nor uncircumcision avails anything, but faith working through love.
NLV - If we belong to Jesus Christ, it means nothing to have or not to have gone through the religious act of becoming a Jew. But faith working through love is important.
NLT - For when we place our faith in Christ Jesus, there is no benefit in being circumcised or being uncircumcised. What is important is faith expressing itself in love.
Love is the great motivator / Faith is the great activator.
How to Keep Your Love Warm
2. Have good frames – See people, love people
3. Stay committed to truth (Divine and Objective)
4. Be merciful to receive mercy
5. Have the mind of Christ

On the Martin Luther King holiday, one of the best things we can do is read, consider, and act on the actual writing of Dr. King.
We will gain clarity and understanding for today from Chapter Seven by my book: "Justice, What Is It? An Everyday Person's Guide to Understanding Justice and the Role of the Church"
You can follow this link to the Atlantic Magazine to read the entire letter originally published August, 1963. It is a long, but very important read.
The stream will be available at my Facebook page, Twitter, and the New Covenant Church YouTube Channel.

Hebrews 11:1, Now faith is the substance of things hoped for and the evidence of things not seen.
Colossians 1:26-27 (J.B. PHILLIPS), They are those to whom God has planned to give a vision of the full wonder and splendor of his secret plan for the sons of men. And the secret is simply this: Christ in you! Yes, Christ in you bringing with him the hope of all glorious things to come.
We all benefit from the faith, hope, and actions of others. But we tend not to notice especially when our lives have become “normal.”
The key is to remember that there are people, perhaps people you know, whose lives are not “normal.”
Dr. King wrote in his letter from the Birmingham jail:
“We will reach the goal of freedom in Birmingham and all over the nation, because the goal of America is freedom. Abused and scorned though we may be, our destiny is tied up with America's destiny. Before the pilgrims landed at Plymouth, we were here. Before the pen of Jefferson etched the majestic words of the Declaration of Independence across the pages of history, we were here.”
WHAT IS HOPE?
2. Confident expectation
3. Anticipation of good
4. “Framing” or re-framing yourself and your circumstances
In the social sciences, framing is comprised of concepts and perspectives on how individuals, and groups organize, perceive, and communicate their view of reality.
Perception is often not reality.

Crowned with Goodness! What is Faith? A Faith Refresher for 2023

Psalm 65:11, You crown the year with Your goodness, and Your paths drip with abundance.
These are great promises. But every promise of God requires us to have faith. Not only to believe, but to have active faith. Belief and Faith are two sides of the same coin.
The primary characteristics of faith in God:
1. It is belief that consistently takes action based on God’s word (obedience)
2. it is energized by our relationship with God.

The problem with other people's plans for you:
1. You cave in because of feeling frustrated and too old to have success (At 85 years old, Abram had been waiting 10 years on God's plan)
2. You do something wrong (Abram laid with his wife's servant, surely against her will)
3. The other person ends up despising you and accusing you
ALWAYS follow God's plan for your life! You don't want to become responsible for the outcomes of another person's plan.
