Sin is fundamentally a disordering of our loves—loving the wrong things, or loving good things in the wrong order. Jesus comes not only to forgive our sins, but to re-center our hearts, teaching us to love God first and our neighbors as ourselves. The cross is the ultimate act of love, where God's self-giving overcomes our self-centeredness and opens the way for us to live rightly ordered lives.
In this special episode of Truth Tribe, Dr. Douglas Groothuis reads an original essay composed as a tool for Christian students and truth seekers alike: a topical compilation of biblical passages titled Spiritual Realities Behind Worldly Philosophies and False Religions. Originally prepared while teaching philosophy at Colorado Christian University, the piece is a Scripture-saturated warning and encouragement for believers engaging with false ideologies — whether religious or irreligious. Dr. Groothuis underscores that the battle for truth is not merely intellectual but deeply spiritual. Listeners are exhorted to approach their studies and worldview formation with prayerfulness, discernment, and unwavering trust in the authority of Scripture.

Love is from God. This is where our idea of real love must begin.

The divide in American society has grown so deep that peaceful coexistence between opposing worldviews seems increasingly improbable. This reality demands not just awareness but practical action from those who value liberty and traditional American principles.Drawing from 1 John 4, we examine what it means to "test the spirits" in today's complex cultural landscape. When churches and institutions offer nothing different from what secular culture promotes, they lose their purpose and power. The radical difference of authentic Christianity isn't found in denominational squabbles but in following the principles of God and Christ that shaped our nation from its founding.Theodore Roosevelt understood this connection perfectly when he declared, "The true Christian is the true citizen." He recognized that biblical teachings are so deeply interwoven with American civic life that removing them would leave us without moral standards. Looking at our current cultural confusion, his words seem prophetic – we've indeed lost our ability to judge both public and private morals because we've removed the biblical foundation that once guided us.The path forward requires strengthening conservative Christian communities through communication and cooperation. Just as colonial Americans formed committees of correspondence to unite against tyranny, today's believers must build networks that transcend denominational differences. When churches focus more on promoting their particular brand than on leading people to Christ, they miss their primary purpose.History offers us wisdom through voices like Mercy Otis Warren and Jonathan Mayhew, who understood that liberty requires vigilance and unity. Their warnings against sleeping while enemies remain watchful apply equally today. As Tolkien wisely noted through his characters, we don't get to choose when we live – only how we respond to the challenges of our time.What small ripple of hope will you create today? How will you strengthen the moral fabric of your community? The answer to these questions may determine whether America rediscovers its soul or continues its drift from the principles that once made it great.Support the showThe American Soul Podcasthttps://www.buzzsprout.com/1791934/subscribe

What really matters when this life ends? It's not what you packed in your garage or how full your calendar was — it's what you took with you that counts. In this powerful message from 1 John 4:7-21, we're reminded that God is love, and love perfected in us brings confidence—not fear—on the day of judgment. ✔ What does Christian maturity really look like? ✔ Can we have certainty about our eternal future? ✔ How do we live a life now that reflects the love of God and the reality of judgment later? We'll unpack the Apostle John's heartfelt message, explore our identity as children and friends of God, and confront the often-ignored truth: We're all on spiritual probation. But we can live with confidence, not condemnation, because of what Jesus has already accomplished. ✝️ Takeaway: You can take some things with you — namely, a confident heart, rooted in God's love and faithfulness.

John implores us to know and rely on God's love for us. What kind of fruit comes from this knowing and relying? How does that serve as a springboard into the rest of our lives?

Test the spirits.
Have you ever heard someone say, "God told me..." and immediately felt a little uneasy? Same here.
1 John 4:13-1913 This is how we know that we live in him and he in us: He has given us of his Spirit. 14 And we have seen and testify that the Father has sent his Son to be the Savior of the world. 15 If anyone acknowledges that Jesus is the Son of God, God lives in them and they in God. 16 And so we know and rely on the love God has for us.God is love. Whoever lives in love lives in God, and God in them. 17 This is how love is made complete among us so that we will have confidence on the day of judgment: In this world we are like Jesus. 18 There is no fear in love. But perfect love drives out fear, because fear has to do with punishment. The one who fears is not made perfect in love.19 We love because he first loved us.
In this sermon we begin a series inspired by a book called What Makes You Come Alive: A Spiritual Walk With Howard Thurman by Lerita Coleman Brown. We use Thurman's famous quote to jumpstart our reflections on what it means to live in the spirit of the resurrection. [The quote: “Don't ask what the world needs. Ask what makes you come alive and go do that, because what the world needs is more people who have come alive.”] In this sermon we talk about Thurman's experience of Halley's Comet and what his Mom taught him there, Brennan Manning's words about grace, Jesus' questions to Peter and how he never stops asking them, about what it means to know that you belong to God and how that is at the center of the journey of faith.

1 John 4:7-127 Dear friends, let us love one another, for love comes from God. Everyone who loves has been born of God and knows God. 8 Whoever does not love does not know God, because God is love. 9 This is how God showed his love among us: He sent his one and only Son into the world that we might live through him. 10 This is love: not that we loved God, but that he loved us and sent his Son as an atoning sacrifice for our sins. 11 Dear friends, since God so loved us, we also ought to love one another. 12 No one has ever seen God; but if we love one another, God lives in us and his love is made complete in us.
"God is love" is one of the most direct and basic statements about who God is, and it has huge implications for us. What does mean that before love is a feeling or action that it is a Person? What does God's love do to us and in us when it finds us?
What does real faith look like? In his letters, the disciple John tackles that question and explores what it looks like to truly follow Jesus. In this episode of Further In, Pastor Ben Stuart, Jon Harkey, Elizabeth Staggers, and Jacob Harkey sit down to take a deeper look at 1 John and consider how we can apply the truths of Scripture to our lives today. —Give towards what God is doing through Passion City Church: https://passioncitychurch.com/give-online—With Passion City Online you can join us every Sunday for gatherings at 9:30a and 11:30a at https://passioncitychurch.com/dcSubscribe to our Youtube channel to see more messages https://www.youtube.com/passioncitychurchdcFollow Passion City Church: https://www.instagram.com/passioncitydc/Follow Ben Stuart: https://www.instagram.com/ben_stuart_/Passion City Church is a Jesus church with locations in Atlanta and Washington D.C.
