More Than Bread
It's not enough to get into God's Word, we need to let His Word get into us. "More Than Bread" is a podcast featuring Pastor Dan Nold from Calvary Church in State College, PA. It focuses on simply reading the Bible (with a few comments) in the hopes that listening to God's Word, learning from God's Word and leaning into God's Word will shape our hearts, minds, and souls to bring us life. As Jesus said, "We do not live by bread alone, we live by every Word that comes from the mouth of God."
More Than Bread
A Life of Prayer #24 -- James 2:5-13 -- Do you want a love that soars?
Did you know that there's a royal law in the Bible? James calls it the royal law of love. Love your neighbor as you love yourself; the royal law. The Bible makes it incredibly clear that nothing matters more than relationships--nothing--first with God and second with people. In fact that very royal love, "Love your neighbor as yourself" is so stuck in the heart of God that it gets repeated in the Bible not once, but nine different times. In fact, the Bible seems to suggest that if I am a success in every other area of life except relationships, I am a failure.
The higher calling of God always starts with the heart. Time and again in the Bible we see that before God releases a dream, He always shapes a heart. Do you want a love that soars? That's what He's dreaming of for you.
