The Christian understands that God loves with an “Agape” love. Agape love is a deep love, a love seen in the way God gave his Son for all peoples, a love that seeks the welfare of all mankind, and seeks to do good to all men, friend and foe. Gods love is more than a ‘friendly’ God or ‘appreciative’ God.

What do we mean by Faith?
What does it mean to live by faith?
Why should I believe in God?
I believe God exists . Isn’t that enough?
What does Sin mean?
How does a Holy God view sin?
Do we have a faith that rests on the power of God?
Often we feel we need more faith. But Jesus said to his disciples a grain of mustard seed is the size of faith that is needed. This is because it is not faith that is the primary issue but what we have faith in. Tiny faith in a mighty God is as affective as great faith in a Mighty God. What may be different is the journey ie. a fearful journey or a journey of confidence. The mighty God remains the same.
Faith has to have an object or person to be effective. Large faith in thin ice will not be effective. Small faith in thick ice is better

A man with six children felt nothing but despair as he looked to the future. With no hope left he attempted suicide but was caught in his tracks when he heard a voice say, “What will happen to your children? Who will take care of them when you are gone?” Breaking down in tears, he went to the local pastor who shared te Gospel with him, and led him to Jesus. (OM Global)

Moyes was one of a trio of active Christians at the club, the others being Alan Comfort and Graham Daniels. They were described by McDonough as “Cambridge’s Holy Trinity.” McDonough writes: “The three of them sat in the changing room with a little black book, discussing their beliefs, when they should have been getting psyched up for a relegation scrap. I would cut out a lurid tabloid newspaper story and stick it on the noticeboard in front of them saying, ‘see that pervert. That’s what you will end up like. Vicars messing around with the choir boys.’ But they just turned the other cheek.”
