Emphasis Preaching Journal

After seeing a bumper sticker that read, "God Is Love," a man remarked, "I wish I could feel God's love!" How do we experience God's love? A young boy on his way to church and Sunday School met a man who was a nonbeliever. The boy's parents were very poor, while the nonbeliever was rich. The nonbeliever said to the boy, "Why are you going to church? If God really loved you, God would give you good clothes and new shoes!" To this the boy replied, "God told someone, but they must have forgotten!" God can use us to show love to a world that badly needs to experience God's love.
