What is Agape Love? Exploring Its Meaning in the Bible

Cindy Dawson

1-minute read for Friday, 5/2/25

 “Love is patient, love is kind. It does not envy, it does not boast, it is not proud.  It does not dishonor others, it is not self-seeking, it is not easily angered, it keeps no record of wrongs.  Love does not delight in evil but rejoices with the truth.  It always protects, always trusts, always hopes, always perseveres… Love never fails.” 1 Corinthians 13: 4-8a NIV

Commentary: The Greek word for love used here is agape. Agape love is one of the rarest words in the Greek language and is found almost nowhere in Greek literature apart from the New Testament. But it is one of the most common words within the New Testament. It is totally unselfish love. Christ’s sacrifice and His love model what it means to choose love. (Jeremiah Study Bible Notes)

Loving Truth: How Paul’s Letters Guide Our Faith

Cindy Dawson

1-minute read – Verses for Meditation, 4/10/25

The Apostle Paul said, “Have I now become your enemy by telling you the truth?” Galatians 4:16 NIV

Paul loved the Galatians but he would not compromise the truth to appease them. In fact, he pleaded with them to turn away from false teachers, warning them that the motives of the false teachers were evil.

Proverbs 27:6 AMP says, “Faithful are the wounds of a friend [who corrects out of love and concern], But the kisses of an enemy are deceitful [because they serve his hidden agenda].

We must love the truth so that we are not seduced by a spirit of compromise. Jesus prayed for His disciples,

“Sanctify them by the truth; your word is truth.” John 17:17 NIV

Quote of the Week, 2/26/25

Cindy Dawson

You can be Jewish and have no connection with Christians, but I can’t be Christian and not be completely connected to the Jewish people. Our entire faith is built on the foundation of Judaism and the Scriptures. We are people of the book and in Genesis it says that God blesses those who bless Israel and curses those who curse Israel.”

Mike Huckabee, designated Ambassador to Israel

Combatting False Doctrine in the Church

Cindy Dawson

1-minute read

Friday’s Verse, 2/7/25

“As I urged you when I went into Macedonia, stay there in Ephesus so that you may command certain people not to teach false doctrines any longer or to devote themselves to myths and endless genealogies. Such things promote controversial speculations rather than advancing God’s work—which is by faith. The goal of this command is love, which comes from a pure heart and a good conscience and a sincere faith. Some have departed from these and have turned to meaningless talk. They want to be teachers of the law, but they do not know what they are talking about or what they so confidently affirm.” 1 Timothy 1:3-7 NIV

Comment: The Church must not tolerate false teaching. True doctrine builds people up. False teaching brings division.

Monday’s Verse, 1/20/25

“We know that we have come to know him if we keep his commands. Whoever says, “I know him,” but does not do what he commands is a liar, and the truth is not in that person. But if anyone obeys his word, love for God is truly made complete in them. This is how we know we are in him: Whoever claims to live in him must live as Jesus did.” 1 John 2:3-6 NIV Read full chapter

Note: There is only one way of proving to ourselves that we know God, and that is by loving obedience to His will. (Cambridge Bible)

When it comes to truth, however, being close isn’t close enough. … Satan is smart. He wants to get people to deviate just enough in their thinking to get them off course, and if there isn’t a course correction, the result will be catastrophic.” Pastor Jack Hibbs, Living In the Daze of Deception
