JANUARY/FEBRUARY 2020 OHBELOVEDONE.COM LOVE, PAUL
are gathered
live it out
Oh no. The hard part. Actually doing
something.
And I’m not going to lie: A couple
times I think Paul must be crazy. He
talks about things like submitting,
being bold to share the gospel (in
chains), and respecting and even
praying for the government. Paul
wastes no time in telling us that the
Christian life means doing things, and
the rest of us sit on our couches and go
“why”?
Why?
For joy.
God, through Paul, shows us how
amazing, how hard, and how
worthwhile it is to live out what we
read in Paul’s letters—and in the rest of
the Bible.
Sometimes I still have no clue what Paul’s
saying--or any of the other authors of the other
sixty-something-or-other books of the Bible,
come to think of it. But that’s okay.
Because when you forget, you can easily go back
and read through it again. All the epistles that
end with a sweet “love, paul.”
And a sweet, “love, God” too.

not a lot of that to begin with. She rants about life and love and other stuff while simultaneously belting showtunes on https://
