Love Fulfills the Law

Last updated on: January 8, 2025 at 4:32 pm By Dorian Scott Cole

Summary Podcast show links: Substack, YouTube video, Spotify, and Apple podcasts. Why does love fulfill the law? The Apostle Paul was sent to non-Jews. He wasn’t to make them Jews or have them adopt Jewish law. He was to help them understand how to live through love. Reference verses: “Do not think that I have come to abolish the Law or the Prophets; I have come not to abolish but to fulfill. – Matthew 5:17 “When Jesus had received the... Read more

Spread these ideas liberally (AKA repeat after me) Summary Podcast links: Substack, YouTube. Also on Spotify and Apple podcasts. I really dislike taking down the Christmas decorations after New Years. It’s such a sparkly, bright period filled with hope and goodwill. Our house looks barren of sparkle just as does our reality. We’re back to normal, and normal leaves a lot to be desired. We need to solve problems that are causing endless chaos and misery. Entering 2025, a quarter... Read more

Much to celebrate Podcast links It’s admiration day. Each Friday, we should look at what we’ve accomplished, celebrate it, or at least do so at the end of the year. It’s the end of the year. Looking at our past accomplishment is encouraging, and past success is a solid platform for future success. Gen Z and Millennials are making themselves heard. They spoke loudly in the election, having greater voting power than older generations and they add around 41 million... Read more

Summary – Blessed are the peacemakers. Podcast on Substack With hate, we have more to lose than gain – break the cycle We each stand in acres of ill will. The outcry, no matter how justified, drowns us. People live in fear of the future. We drink poison hoping our enemies will die. Spiritually, we fill the universe with bad will toward those we hate. Jesus said to us to love our enemies and pray for those who persecute us.... Read more

Do Thoughts and Prayers Work? Podcast Video podcast on YouTube. Summary New generations want spirituality that is real. Not some flight of fantasy. Thoughts and prayers are the butt of jokes. But do they actually work, or are they a convenient fantasy? The short answer is yes, they work. The long answer is, it’s very complicated. Bible reference verse “This is the confidence which we have before Him, that, if we ask anything according to His will, He hears us.... Read more

Summary I admire new generations for sticking up for their values. But implementing those values, which are actually similar to most peoples’, isn’t without controversy. It puts them in the precarious position of standing alone against the prevailing winds of public hate and ambivalence. It’s a lonely place. It shakes their confidence in themselves. The church...

Who Does God Help? Finding Strength and Purpose

Does God help those who help themselves? There’s no such verse in the Bible. Do all good things come to those who wait? Possible interpretation. Does God help only the helpless? We can be so misled but so close to the truth. The answer is yes and no. If you ask God for patience, it just means you’re going to wait longer. Don’t ask.

What does this mean to me? In marketing and sales you learn that people don’t buy features. They buy benefits. The gadget can have all kinds of bells and whistles for features, but if they don’t benefit from those bells and whistles in any meaningful way, only people attracted to glitz and glamour buy. We don’t sell Christianity. But we do help people see the benefits through love. Relevant questions from new generations – what’s the benefit? What does eternal... Read more

Bridging the Divide: A Path to Unity Some things keep me awake at night because they are bringing us all down, yet we can conquer them. Our nation’s deep division is evident in our increasingly polarized political landscape and rising social unrest.

Majority rule with minority rights is a cornerstone of democracy, but we must strive to avoid oppression and promote peaceful coexistence. Our... Read more
