Have you ever loved someone based on how he or she treated you? That's called conditional love. But God's love is unconditional. No matter how you treat Him, His love remains the same.

That's how He wants us to be.

Every time we walk through the door, someone's depression should lift and another's concerns minimize because they've encountered God's love and power at work in us.

It might just be one little hug, an "I really appreciate you," or an "I'm concerned about you," that could change their lives forever.

My wife, Taffi, and I are committed to making our church an oasis of love. More than knowledge, understanding, healing or prosperity, we're learning about love by practicing God's Word. And when our congregation settles this love issue, a lot of other issues will be settled simultaneously.

Everyone Can Love
You might not have great faith, but you can love! You might not be able to prophesy, but you can love! You may not have the gift of interpretation of tongues, but you can love! You may not be able to preach a soul-stirring sermon, but everybody - from the youngest to the oldest, from the least to the greatest - has the capacity to operate in love.
