The Biblical Definition of Love l Voddie Baucham

[@danailourdeslouis6097]

"Biblical Love: It is an act of the will accompanied by emotion that leads to action on behalf of its object...not sappy sentimentalism" Wow! What a great definition of love! ❤️

[@coachcarlosjohnson]

Biblical love is an act of the will accompanied by an emotion that leads to action on behalf of its object

[@jmlordoftherings]

Emotions have nothing to do with it. It is the OBEDIENCE of the will to Glorify the name of GOD!

[@mreen254]

Wdym? What is love without emotions?

[@jmlordoftherings]

@mreen254 Love only involved emotions AFTER you have actually push forward with the will of GOD!

[@johnsonjj117]

@@mreen254where do you think emotions come from? When we get married why do we promise to love and cherish someone even when we don’t feel like it? These are questions that if you think hard enough about you will answer your own question.

This sermon convicted me BIG TIME!!!😢 My children have hurt me so bad. I am learning that my pride has taken over. I have repented, and I am so thankful for God who in His Grace & Mercy led me to this sermon. I am saving this sermon, and every time I feel that hurt and resentment, I will listen again. Praise God!!❤

[@johnsonjj117]

I need to confess, I have so much anger in my heart for the pain and hurt my wife inflicted through her infidelity. I have been trying to claw my way from it and it threatens to swallow me daily. I listen to sermons like this on repeat and beg God to take it away but there are two men I have fantasized about doing harm to for years, gotten so far as to track them down and drive to their houses and work with the intention of making sure they ended up in the hospital or morgue. I have people in my life who offered to “help” me take care of the problem and I know they have done it before. I’m not proud of these thoughts, I am deeply ashamed but it feels like the pressure of a fire hydrant trying to escape through a plastic drinking straw at all times. I pray and worship and beg and confess but it claws and claws at my sanity. I feel so lost and broken, I am thankful for Sermons like this to keep my path.

[@JessicaCancel.LaUnica]

Your anger is warranted. In the Bible it states righteous anger is ok. You have every right to feel the way you feel. And that the reason why God says that is the only way out of a marriage that He will accept.

[@princev1bes166]

Have you heard of Jesse Lee Peterson? He says our anger roots in our parents. You become like what you hate, you marry your mom… it takes a deep look into yourself to admit such things. But his teaching says to apologize to our parents for resenting them And forgive them for their shortcomings- they tried their best. Specifically to apologize to them directly, it was scary but necessary for me.

[@danimojoe8563]

Let’s see. Hmmm so you wanna harm others and go to jail because the person you married was that way before you met her. Played you like a fine tuned fiddle. She got your number.

WOW I am thoroughly thoroughly impressed. I always listen to Voddie. I just had to pause it and write this because of how impressed I am. Near the end when he talks about those who would argue about nuking Afghanistan despite there being so many children... I said out loud to myself "Okay, Voddie. Now that you've taken this stance, you have to clear up the whole situation of God telling people to wipe out entire civilizations." AND LITERALLY IMMEDIATELY, Voddie gets right to that. Man! I love this guy. So much respect for this man and I appreciate all he has taught me in the last 2-3 years.

[@yvettejirsaraie5185]

This is an excellent teaching, showing that we have been saved by Grace, since many of us did experience dysfunctional relationships while growing up. Many of us had godly mothers and ungodly fathers, and our siblings followed our father, most of the time. Yes, our grandparents children didn’t set a good example, even the ones working in the churches. Thank you, dear teacher, for the spoken word of God our creator. Hallelujah! 🕊️

[@texsis2112]

There isn't.! Why Jesus said to first love God with all your being (commandments 1-4) 2nd love your neighbor as yourself (commandments 5-10). We can't make ppl love us yet if it's meant to be, it will happen in Gods time, not ours and at times, not at all. God's plan for us isn't always what we want & desire.!

In I Samuel 24 David (a man after God's own heart) could've killed Saul in the cave. In fact, he got close enough to Saul and cut off a piece of his robe and felt convicted. He then told his men not to harm Saul. David then catches up to Saul and humbled himself and said "12 Let the Lord judge between you and me, and let the Lord avenge me on you. But my hand shall not be against you. 13 As the proverb of the ancients says, ‘Wickedness proceeds from the wicked.’ But my hand shall not be against you." Saul responded "17 Then he said to David: “You are more righteous than I; for you have rewarded me with good, whereas I have rewarded you with evil." And also stated "19 For if a man finds his enemy, will he let him get away safely? Therefore may the Lord reward you with good for what you have done to me this day."

[@ShBane12]

This would have made sense to me prior before I understood the difference between Biblical love and the Roman Greco view of love. See Voddie Baucham youtube: The Biblical definition of love. He goes in the more detail about the Roman Greco view of love, which explains what she is saying and why its a problem.

[@andrewrivera190]

The Dirty Harry intro is an interesting choice. The films themselves are definitely not for kids and I didn’t watch them till I was an adult and I still have scenes I would rather just skip due to the free love atmosphere of the 60s. As for the violence. At least as the first two films work as a counters to each other. The first film has him as the vigilante but the second film has him against other vigilantes. In a sense, yes, Dirty Harry is a hypocrite but the films seem to make that clear. Dirty Harry really is more of an anti hero than a hero. I get the point he is making with using Dirty Harry. Does an act of cruelty somehow counter other acts of cruelty. Ultimately, I think as people go through life, the more a person is exposed to injustice the less they are likely to have mercy and compassion themselves. It’s real difficult to have compassion for someone who you have been hurt by or if they hurt someone you care about. This is where the real test of the gospel is.

What is sad to me is that our favorite theologians can use scripture to reveal their biases. I understand and agree with his disappointments with liberal politicians, but it’s rare to hear the direct correlations to the errors in evil of conservatives. Two of my favorite theologians John MacArthur, and others very rarely use scripture to address man’s air is committed on the conservative side. If we are going to use scripture to correct man, then love both liberal and conservative by correcting them with the Scriptures.

The judge was against me and sided for my Evil weaked ex-abuser ex-husband who stole money from me. I had the evidence and even though I had the proof of what my ex-abuser ex-husband had done to me. The judge still made me pay my ex-abuser ex-husband knowing that my ex-abuser ex-husband stole my money. The Lord God Almighty said that there was corruption in Ancient Times an 42:34 d it is still happening today. The only thing that comforts me is that someday the Lord God Almighty Jesus will judge all of us in the end of the world. He will not get away from the Lord God Almighty Jesus.

Somebody needs to be excused so they can properly take care of their baby.

[@thatgirlyanara]

The baby is not a distraction unless you allow it to be, he/she is literally just being a baby…plus consider the mother or father who would be missing the important message because “they need to be excuse to properly take care of their baby”, also what makes you think that the baby is not properly taken care of? That sounds like a happy baby to me! Furthermore children Sunday school is actually a fairly new concept and didn’t exist in churches until very recent history, Voddie himself talk about this in one of his sermons! Consider also that Yahusha himself loved, embrace and preached to children and when he was a child!

[@livingwordbibleministries8814]

I have always looked forward to his messages. But he really missed the mark with this one. His perception here is that of religion and theology. He failed to ask some very important questions. When you pray for your enemy, what are you praying for? When he spoke of submitting to those who rule over you. Who is ruling over you? This is Romans 6:16 all day. In his explanation, he is advocating the allegiance or obedience between two masters. Cursed be the man who maketh flesh his arm whose heart has departed from the Lord. I believe he needs to take a closer look in his material.😢

@@gerrydean7696 1 Corinthians 2:14 But the natural man receiveth not the things of the Spirit of God: for they are foolishness unto him: neither can he know them, because they are spiritually discerned. You follow after theology, philosophy, religion and church doctrine. All of which leads one straight to hell. Instead of allowing God to transform you into his image and after his likeness. You try to conform God to yours. Mark 7:5-9 5 Then the Pharisees and scribes asked him, Why walk not thy disciples according to the tradition of the elders, but eat bread with unwashen hands? 6 He answered and said unto them, Well hath Esaias prophesied of you hypocrites, as it is written, This people honoureth me with their lips, but their heart is far from me. 7 Howbeit in vain do they worship me, teaching for doctrines the commandments of men. 8 For laying aside the commandment of God, ye hold the tradition of men, as the washing of pots and cups: and many other such like things ye do. 9 And he said unto them, Full well ye reject the commandment of God, that ye may keep your own tradition. Revelation 2:9 refers to the church as the synagogue of satan. You follow the voice of another through the wisdom of men. All these things shall pass away, and with it those who obey and serve it. Unless the church and christian's repent, there will be no place found for them in heaven. The church and christian's do go to hell, Jesus himself said so in Matthew 7:21-23. I suggest you start spending time with God and building a relationship with him. Also it wouldn't hurt if you purchased a kjv bible. Anything else is a demonic book of the devil. You let the world/your pastor be your master, I'll keep Jesus as mine.
