The elements of a worship service have value, certainly, but if not done in love, what good are they? Bible studies, prayer groups, coffee fellowship…all may be well and good, but again, without love, what good are they? I am remained of Paul in 1 Corinthians 13: “If I speak in the tongues of men or of angels, but do not have love, I am only a resounding gong or a clanging cymbal. 2 If I have the gift of prophecy and can fathom all mysteries and all knowledge, and if I have a faith that can move mountains, but do not have love, I am nothing. 3 If I give all I possess to the poor and give over my body to hardship that I may boast, but do not have love, I gain nothing.” God bless.
