The CHRIST
of Christmas

UPCOMING PROGRAM: December 20, 2025

UPCOMING PROGRAM: December 20, 2025

Guest: John Crotts, pastor of Faith Bible Church (Sharpsburg, GA)

There are lots of issues that consume our attention, such as world events, politics, work, family, recreation, health trials, and more. But there is one issue for the Christian that should be of primary focus—loving God.

Loving God means to order our thoughts and actions around what brings glory to God and pleases Him. In fact, Jesus said that loving God with our whole being is “the great and foremost commandment” (Matt. 22:38). Not a suggestion but a commandment.

When the believer grows in love of God, he will enthusiastically want to worship and obey Him. Jesus said, “If you love Me, you will keep My commandments.” Of course—we’ll do anything for someone we truly love.

So how do we grow in our love of God? Is it about trying to manufacture and maintain affectionate feelings toward God, as a man has for a woman with whom he is in love? Should Christians expect to wake up every day just naturally loving God?

John Crotts joins us this weekend on The Christian Worldview to discuss the all-important issue of growing in your love of God. John has been pastor of Faith Bible Church in Sharpsburg, GA for 30 years, hosts the Integrated podcast, and is a fellow with the Fortis Institute, where he produced a video titled, “Head to Heart: Five Ways to Know and Love God.”
