For the Love of God

In April of 2019, I started writing a bi-weekly column for the Wakefield News/Bessemer Pick & Axe. The main heading for my column was “For the Love of God” – because I wanted to emphasize that the God whom I worship is primarily a God of love.

The WNBPA published its last edition on February 27, 2025, so I needed a new venue to share my articles and my ideas. It will be here, on this website that I haven’t updated for several years. I guess it’s time to get started again.

I expect the articles will be bi-weekly here, as they were in the newspaper, but we’ll see how that goes. I also expect that they’ll be on this page – but, perhaps, some will be on the “Sermons & Meditations” page, too.

Welcome. May you always be curious.

Life of Faith

What does a life of faith look like?

I’m often asked this question, but it doesn’t have ONE answer.  Because God has created each of us with unique talents and traits, each life of faith is going to look a bit different from every other life of faith.  Each individual will determine what “a life of faith” looks like for him or her in relation to God.

There are some characteristics that people of faith have in common as they live their lives of faith, however.

  • Care and concern for other people … Since God created ALL people, those who live a life of faith care for all people as precious children of God.
  • Grace and forgiveness … Since God has shown us grace through unconditional love and forgiveness, those who live a life of faith offer love and forgiveness to others.
