Daily Bread
1 John 4:11 - "Beloved if God so loved us we ought to love one another."
This verse of scripture in John's First Epistle defines for us the true meaning of love. The kind of love that we are to have one for another is the love that was expressed in Jesus Christ when He gave His life for us so that we might live. God has empowered us to walk in His love which is the expression of His own nature. There is no justifiable reason to ever stop loving the people of God, even to the point of laying our lives down for them. Such love takes us far beyond the possibility of unforgivingness or hatred towards one another.
Blessings,
Pastor Mark Spitsbergen

- I started this blog back in 2005, but in 2006 began dedicating it solely for the purpose of posting email messages called, Daily Bread, sent out Monday through Saturday by my pastor, Mark Spitsbergen. These daily emails contain fresh revelation that Mark gets from the Word of God by the Holy Spirit for that day for the church that God has called him to pastor, Abiding Place. 1 Peter 4:11 says, "If any man speak let him speak as the oracles of God; if any man minister let him do it as of the ability which God gives that God in all things may be glorified through Jesus Christ to whom be praise and dominion forever and ever. Amen." Jesus Christ is the Way, the Truth, and the Life, (John 14:6), and He says, "The words that I speak to you are Spirit, and they are Life." (John 6:63). For the Word of God is quick (alive), and powerful, and sharper than any two-edged sword piercing even to the dividing asunder of soul and spirit, and of the joints and marrow, and is a discerner of the thoughts and intents of the heart. (Hebrews 4:12).
