Since today is Valentine's Day, Paul wants to take a moment to help us love better in 2024.

Here's this week's Wednesday's Word. I was initially going to take a break from our Wednesday's Word series on evangelism and

how to be a light in your neighborhood because today is Valentine's Day.

Typically, my devotional during this week

every year focuses on love applied specifically to marriage. The list below, of course, applies to how

you treat your husband or wife. But then it hit me. There's no better way to preach Christ to your

We implore you on behalf of Christ, be reconciled to God, end quote.

2 Corinthians 520.

So here is a definition of biblical love followed by a list of ways you can apply it to any

relationship in your life.

But I encourage you to read through this list first with your evangelist hat on,

and how you might practically express ambassadorial love to your neighbors who have yet to accept the love of Christ.
