Taste of Faith: The Essence of Christianity

This is a bit from a commercial back in the day. Can you name the item?

Two all-beef patties, special sauce, lettuce, cheese, pickles, onions, on a sesame seed bun.

If you answered a McDonald’s Big Mac, you’re right!

Out of all the ingredients, the special sauce is what makes a Big Mac so tasty. Psst. I think it’s thousand island dressing.🤗

Here’s a thought. Out of all the Christian virtues, what’s the “special sauce” that gives an unmistakable savory taste to our faith?

If you answered love, you’re right again!

And now these three remain: faith, hope and love. But the greatest of these is love.

1 Corinthians 13:13 (NIV)

Kind reader, God’s unrelenting, unconditional, overcoming love never fails. It casts out all fear and it out lasts it, too (1 John 4:18).

Can you relate?

Thank you for reading. 🙏❤️ Prayers and love.

A new command I give you: Love one another. As I have loved you, so you must love one another. By this all men will know that you are my disciples, if you love one another.

Jesus- John 13:34-35 (NIV)

    I’ve written a few songs like that too, Gary. It’s interesting now that I’m no longer one of the youngest people in the room, either. Thanks for stopping by. God Bless!

    I know! As I wrote this post, I kept thinking, “When was the last time I had a Big Mac?”
    Yes, there is a whole lotta love in 1 John. It’s hard to pick a favorite verse.
    Thanks for stopping by! God Bless.

    Kind of craving a Big Mac now!! …think I’ll curb my hunger with some Bible study time this evening instead though, maybe study some verses on love!! …our sermon series in church has been in 1 John….and chapter 4 is loaded with a lot of talk on love!!❤️

    when I was in a band in college, we made up a totally irreverent song using the commercial lyrics of the big Mac. It was a hit wherever we went except for the “old people”. Now that I’m old…ya…good take off on love David

    Thank you, sister Bridget. I originally thought of this idea I regards to teaching children, but it applies to all of live. Love—God’s love, it the strongest power in the universe! Blessings to you and yours.

    Thank you, brother Alan. There are so many great scriptures about God’s love. This is the ultimate divine love I was talking about. Thank you for sharing about the one another statements. The Lord’s love thrives and grows in community. Blessings to you and Susan, as well. 🙏🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿🇺🇸

    Excellent encouraging post David – thank you! 😊 I am reminded of the song line, love makes the world go around, (Deon Jackson (1965). But as we know it is Father God’s love that is the real love. Also I like how this ties into one of the famous “One Another” statements, which are all about love. God bless you and Nancy today dear brother. 🙏🇺🇸🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿

    That’s both plausible and possible, Malcolm. The more love we can show, the better. Especially God’s love.

    I love God’s timing on messages! This week I heard Colton Dixon’s new song “The Love I have for you” and these lyrics keep playing in my soul. God speaking His love over us!

    You told me once, you told me twice
    You’ll say it again a thousand times

    With the love I have for you
    Ain’t a mountain you can’t move
    In the dark, I’ll be the light
    In the fight, I’m by your side
    When you’re weak, I’ll be strong
    Your hallelujah song
    Oh, you’re gonna make it through
    With the love I have for you

    No better kind, no greater truth
    The love that I, I have for you
    It’s river wide, it’s to the moon
    You’ll be alright, you’ll make it

    Thousand Island Dressing? Perhaps 1000 expressions of love?

    There is nothing like the savory sauce of love, to bring delight and deliciousness to our relationships, brother David. Where love abounds, everything changes.

    You’re welcome, brother. There is a lot to unpack in 1 Corinthians 13, it’s a great one to focus on for a group! Blessings to you and Terri.

    Thanks for the short and sweet (or should I say savory?) reminder on the importance of love, David. I’ve been in a cohort focusing on 1 Corinthians 13, so this hit the spot. Blessings.
