There was a time before I had true understanding in faith of Biblical    Christianity including what true Christianity of the first century really is/was set aside the notion that nothing remains the same and it's changed. The Bible says God is the same yesterday, today and tomorrow. Now I walked into as a surprise guest a local church yesterday and a preacher who had a lot of attendees was preaching on what love is . I was in the area and I decided having some time before I had to meet my appointment I saw the church in the distance and I decided to go see and worship a little bit which I did. I think it was a good thing the sermon on love being true love. Now the reason I said this is because before I was a born again believer in Christ not in the world of fornication and wickedness now I had little understanding although I did purchase a Bible years back but it wasn't a Bible that is proficient as the King James Bible. It was probably the world standard Bible. Anyways so some of us have had love and have been loved by our parents which some of them have been good providers. My dad was an excellent provider but life caught up with him. He suffered immensely. Having grown up learning to play the guitar and having a great interest for music I liked a lot of the famous talented bands/artists of the world. But you see the Bible says it's enmity to befriend the world. James 4:4 Nonetheless God gives different gifts to different people and that's explained in God's word the Bible. Matthew 25 14 to 30 There are a lot of broken love songs and a lot of love songs and as they say everything has been covered in music although technology has made it possible to do somethings that were impossible say 10 to 20 years ago. Since John Lennon had passed away had been killed in the '80s 12.8.80 by an offender sinner a song was written prior imagine and some things were said about Christianity that were offensive. Both of these are wrong because hell exist and heaven exists and the wages of sin is death which means eternal damnation/destruction. The pre-notion or rejection of talent is stupidity an idiotness. You see even if these people are atheist or if they're not true believers they still have some sort of talent. We can argue some of it comes from Satan as they are being used as tools for his kingdom which is probably true to a certain degree. But that's not the heart of the matter which I'm getting at today. The heart of the matter is what is love . What is love In God's view not in fallen's man's view. Love is to forgive people and to turn the other cheek and bless those who curse you. Love is not to live in the flesh but to live in the spirit and to know who created you. Love is to know what deception is and to put your faith and trust in the biblical Lord Jesus Christ of Nazareth. Love is not rebellion. Love is what Christ did on the cross by dying for the sins of the world. John 3:16 He demonstrated love beyond anyone else that ever walked the face of the Earth. The Bible says the world is deceived which is exactly the truth. But we won't get into that because that's not the heart of the matter today. If somebody's a smoker love is to help them stop because they're poisoning their lungs and their temple which is to be kept holy according to God. Love is to be able to preach the truth no matter what. What the apostles did putting aside what Jesus did is what love truly is. Christ set an end to Satan's kingdom and God has foretold his kingdom will not be forever. But Christ kingdom is eternal and one day he will rule the Earth. One day man will find out why he's called the king of kings and lord of lords. But there are opposing forces that come preaching another gospel and another Jesus and a false way into his kingdom because the devil deceives the entire world. You know Jesus said that it's so narrow into his kingdom that few will find the real way or be able to accept truth while losing the seed in their lifetime as the devil snatches it away. The world prides itself on vanity and on many abominable things and rejects the true messiah putting an impostor as the head of the world. Does God know? Of course God is omnipresent. Just as Satan is the little god of this world God's eyes are everywhere. The people who commit evil do not know this or believe this. No man will be able to stand in front of a holy God and lie like they would in a court of law on earth. They won't be able to stand. Many people are not storing up treasures for heaven but storing up rotten treasures on Earth bound for hell and they are going to be accountable many losing their own soul as the tars are gathered up and cast into the fire which is Christ's own words. Love is to live a righteous holy life . You know the Bible says David was a man after God's own heart. It's incredible that Satan didn't do that and yet he was a cherubim angel beauty beyond belief decorated yet he had pride in his own vanity and iniquity was found in him. On Earth from generation to generation iniquity is found in countless human beings who are the children of the devil who's been sinning since the beginning. For example you go out to a mall and you insult somebody because you don't approve of them and they don't meet your standard you are sinning. Christ said his yoke is easy and his burden is light and he also said when you have a gathering invite the crippled, the lame and  perhaps people rejected from the world but be careful not to invite the evil as deceivers today are numerous like in Noahs day. It's also written in scripture probably in the Book of James too about giving to other human beings that are in need. Set aside that we're not saved by works you don't do it out of being forced to do it but do it out of a redeemed heart when you feel it's your obligation and you should glorify God. You can just sing songs all day glorifying God but not be a doer of the word. Love is not kissing your girlfriend every 2 seconds as I seen yesterday by a bus stop. You can control your emotions. I remember my dad saying love is to work and being a good provider. Yes I agree but do you have some ability or some disability because some people have a disability yet they still work. For example I see men panhandling on the streets for money while I've worked in plants and seeing young women sweating with their brow and some of these people have been there 25 to 36 years and they make the men look like children. A man needs to work and needs to care and needs to respect God and give thanks and praise daily for everything. Including praying and being patient in tribulation is what I'm reminded of. Love is not to feed your body,  your temple with toxins such as cigarettes and drugs. I remember once Elvis and his entourage in a film driving I believe from a concert and talking dirty and caught on camera and they start singing what a friend we have in Jesus. This is not abiding in him. This is using him but he knows. God knows the heart. The Bible says there's not even one who understands. The Bible says all have gone astray. Loving God is to study his word and to know exactly who he is and who he is not. Christ did not force anyone to wear any type of clothing including the prostitute he told her go and sin no more. He forgave her and said where are your accusers as they all put down their stones down and left because they were all with sin. Christ instructions the great commission was to go turn people from Satan on to God and that's done by preaching and the person needs to be convicted in their heart. It's God who gives the increase and brings the person to believe and I'm talking about true belief. It's not man it's also God who gives man the new heart and takes away that stony heart and gives people a heart of flesh. This is not the work of man but of course many men are not believers. Many will die as atheist and find themselves in judgment the same with deceived people they will die in their deception thinking they're going to heaven and come under condemnation because they reject the truth. They don't love the truth they reject the truth and we as true believers are sanctified in the truth.

Now the Beatles have a new song called now and then where they used John Lennon's voice with the help of AI technology. They were able to separate that voice from John's piano and use it in a new Beatles song and I won't get into all of this. So since John Lennon had passed away they took a tape that Yoko gave I believe to George Harrison and created three new Beatles songs which were entitled; Real love, free as a bird, and now in 2023 which I found out today is a number one hit in England the UK being a beautiful ballad now and then and I did hear/read the reviews on it but it's not something I'm interested in anymore as I used to be once. I'm talking about dissecting the song that started sometime in the seventies or eighties and then progress to the 20th century and now to 2023 because they say the Beatles were always into technology. Okay real love is not to sin and to know God and I've explained that. Being free as a bird only Christ can set you free and rejecting Christ as John Lennon appears to have done is not wise. It's highly unlikely he is in heaven as Ringo Starr said in an interview. It could be that God is so forgiven but I heard a person's testimony that they saw/near death John Lennon in hell and that should worry people. Now and then matters but are you saved and have you accepted Christ as your lord and savior?  Do you believe the truth? Do you read the Bible and pray.

Love is to repent and believe the gospel
