Three Valentines (facebook series)

Taking a one day break from Jonah BECAUSE...it's Valentine's Day!! Did you know there was more than one Valentine recorded in history? There were at least three! The "three Valentines" all share something in common-each was put to death because they would not renounce their "love" (faith) for God. Therefore, a Valentine lives to love others and is willing to die for the one they love. Does the one you love have such a place in your life? Would you do anything (including die) for that person? Scripture tells us love is patient, kind, is not boastful and does not keep a record of wrongs (this is a partial list of what love is and what love is not). In recent months I have been on a journey that has taken me to a deeper, more sacrificial understanding of love. God's love is costly. Jesus' historical death is a present day challenge to anyone who says they love God. Words are cheap. If you want a valentine, BE a valentine-show love in a concrete ways and your life will be richer!
