Perfect love= No fear

1 John 4:18
Perfect love casts out fear. If I love completely then I will not be afraid. Jesus was not afraid of those who led him to the whips and the cross, because he loved them with a perfect love .
The truest form of love is submission -disregarding your own self for the sake of the other. Jesus did this when he washed the disciples feet, when he had compassion on the crowd though he was tired... &when he died on the cross. Greater love has no man than this - laying down his life for his friends. Jesus took on the form of servant. I must even more so, take on a servant's mind and heart. This is the most complete form of love.
When I mature in the spiritual fruit of love, I will be completely free of fear.

Mission: New Tribes

Hi Family! We hope that your holiday was truly blessed! Not blessed with things  but blessings of fellowship, giving, and most importantly, love. I think we take for granted the opportunity to be surrounded by people who  actually  want to be around us and who want to invest in our lives in some way! Although our year is full of holidays of pagan origin, they are awesome times for the family of God to gather together and just love on each other! Also, I surely don't take holidays that my husband gets off of work lightly! Love....

Mark Gungor is Senior Pastor of Celebration Church in Wisconsin and the CEO of Laugh Your Way America. When he's not busy with pastoral duties, he's speaker, radio talk show host, and author. Mark says, "I love to inspire people's lives with truth and humor. There are a lot of performers that make people laugh, and there are a lot of speakers who give solid principles for living. I want to do both...Our secular culture over-romanticizes marriage and our Christian culture over spiritualizes it. The reality is that relationships between men and women are very down to earth...Laugh Your Way to a Better Marriage® is about helping couples get it right, get along, have fun, and achieve a successful marriage."

Mission: Christmas Blessing

Peace & love everybody! I've been so excited it's been hard to contain myself regarding today's mission! I hope that after reading this post, you'll be as encouraged as I am now! Known by most today as "the last Stalinist country" and according to VOM, "one of the most repressive and isolated regimes in the world", North Korea needs our prayers, monetary support, and volunteers. It's even being reported that a holocaust is occurring there as I'm writing this! Christians are being tortured, killed, and having "experiments" run on them all because they testify that Jesus is their Lord. Read a short synopsis of what Persecution.com has to say about North Korea and check out their related links. Thanks to our family over at The Voice of the Martyrs, we will be able to encourage and support our North Korean brothers and sisters! With our donations of $50 we will be able to sponsor a package that will have hard-to-get essentials, ...
