How Do We Live Our “Love Charter” Today?
Welcome to today’s episode of the Daily Bible Refresh with Dr. Brad Miller, where we explore a progressive perspective on scripture and focus on practical ways to embody love in our lives. In this episode, Dr. Miller guides us through the Epistle of Second John, emphasizing the enduring command to live in love, the necessity of upholding truth through action, and the importance of hospitality balanced with discernment. He shares not only insightful biblical commentary but also actionable steps for each listener to evaluate and strengthen the presence of love in their personal relationships, community, and faith journey.
Takeaways:
- Love is the foundational charter for Christian living, and everything should be measured by whether it reflects Jesus’s love.
- Truth should be embodied in our actions—faith must have a tangible, compassionate impact on our daily lives and in our communities.
- Hospitality means welcoming others but must be grounded in wisdom to prevent harm and protect the vulnerable.
- A “love charter audit” can help individuals and groups identify where love is thriving and where it is lacking, leading to real, positive changes.
- Small, specific, and timely actions—such as including others, offering apologies, or supporting those in need—are crucial to living out the message of Second John.
