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.”

TOPIC: Why The Statement on Social Justice and the Gospel?

He has told you, O man, what is good; and what does the Lord require of you, but to do justice, to love kindness, and to walk humbly with your God?  Micah 6:8 “Social justice is a gospel issue.”  If you’ve heard this said once recently, you’ve likely heard it dozens of times. [...]

TOPIC: Eternal Security: Once Saved, Always Saved?

For I am convinced that neither death, nor life, nor angels, nor principalities, nor things present, nor things to come, nor powers, nor height, nor depth, nor any other created thing, will be able to separate us from the love of God, which is in Christ Jesus our Lord.  Romans 8:38-39 The last [...]

TOPIC: Make America Great Again … Or Was It Never Great?

Blessed is the nation whose God is the Lord, the people whom He has chosen for His own inheritance.  Psalm 33:12 New York Governor Andrew Cuomo (D) said at a bill signing event this past week, "We're not going to make America great again.  It was never that great.” Of course the impetus [...]

TOPIC: The Importance of Keeping a Good Conscience

Fight the good fight, keeping faith and a good conscience, which some have rejected and suffered shipwreck in regard to their faith.  1 Timothy 1:18-19 The dictionary defines the conscience as: “the inner sense of what is right or wrong in one's conduct or motives.” God gives each person a conscience, an inner [...]
