That's my new title for the blog. I've been wanting to change the name for a while, and this one says what I wanted to say. In a less fallen world, "Nothing Without Love" would possibly describe everything that happens here in our home. The truth of the matter is we are six sinful sinners all under the same roof, and, while God is graciously refining us to pure gold, our dross won't be completely gone until we appear in glory.
The reason I like this title is that it describes who we are ("but God, being rich in mercy, because of His great love with which He loved us, even when we were dead in our transgressions, made us alive together with Christ..." Eph. 2:4), and the ultimate outcome of all we do ("If I speak with the tongues of men and of angels, but do not have love, I have become a noisy gong or a clanging cymbal. If I ahve the gift of prophecy and know all mysteries and all knowledge; and if I have all faith, so as to remove mountains, but do not have love, I am nothing. And if I give all my possessions to feed the pooor, and if I surrender my body to be burned, but do not have love, it profits me nothing." I Cor. 13:1-3).
We are nothing without love, and we do nothing without love. And that' something I need to remember every minute.
