A Note from Pastor Keith
February 13, 2000
Joy is love exalting,
and peace is love at rest.
Patience, love enduring
in every trial and test.
Gentleness, love yielding
to all that is not sin.
Goodness, love in actions
that flow from Christ within.
Faith is love's eyes opened,
the loving Christ to see.
Meekness, love not fighting
but bowed at Calvary.
Temperance, love in harness
and under Christ's control.
The Christ is love in person,
and love, Christ in the soul.
- Dr. Kenneth Moyner, missionary
This poem captures so beautifully and powerfully how Christ's love manifests itself in the fruit of the Spirit. What a picture of true love on this day before Valentine's Day. "But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness, self-control; against such things there is no law (Galatians 5:22)."
In His service,
Pastor Keith
