Keep God Number One

Not all love is good. It is self-destructive to love bad things. It is just as harmful to love good things in a bad order. For example, Pastor Hering loves it that the Oklahoma Sooners won the College World Series! But, if he love the Sooners more than he loved preparing for today’s worship that wouldn’t be good. Also, it would seem to be a good thing for a man to love his dog. But if he loves his dog more than he loves his wife, his “love” for both is disordered. For love to be healthy, it needs to be properly ordered.Christians love the people whom God has placed into their lives. But when those people desire something that God does not desire, Christians love and serve God above all. Properly ordered love leads us to be faithful to God and his Word. We love God above all because he first loved us.Check out Pastor Hering's sermon, "Keep God Number One" to learn more!#faith #gospel #sermon #love #Christ #Christian #lutheran #welslutheran #garlandtx
