Passage: John 14:23* Jesus replied, "If anyone loves me, he will obey my teaching. My Father will love him, and we will come to him and make our home with him. Questions 1. What does Jesus mean in this passage?   2. How does the message apply to us?   Practical help In the summer of 1990, the rock band Extreme stunned the music industry by topping the charts with an acoustic ballad called "More Than Words." (This came long before everyone released "unplugged" albums.) More stunning than the song's unusual style was the message: Love requires "more than words"; it takes action. Maybe the Christian "love-is-a-choice" movement started on FM radio stations in the early '90s. This line of thinking traces back to Jesus. "If anyone loves me, he will obey my teaching." That's all the more reason to put our faith into action. Let's allow our trust in God become centrifugal — flying from the center of our lives to every area. Even our appetite for pornography. eXXit homepage Index of three-minute studies Copyright 2001 by eXXit *Scriptures are from The Holy Bible: New International Version © Copyright 1973, 1978, 1984 by International Bible Society.
