DAY 3: WALK IN LOVE
If you haven’t noticed, we’ve been weaving in and out of this subject already in days 1 & 2 - and let me just tell you, we’ll continue seeing the theme of “LOVE” finding its way into the coming days of this devotional. This is how it should be. As we mentioned in Day 2, this is how the world knows who we belong to (by how we love each other).
But even deeper than that, Paul gave us a powerful nugget of truth in Galatians 5:6 when he was talking about the fruits of the Spirit. He informed us that “faith works BY LOVE”. What a powerful statement. When we really break down Koine Greek on this verse we’d see “pistis energeo by agape”, which could easily be translated as “the WALK of faith as a believer is energized by the God kind of love”. One of the best ways to view agape love is simply “unconditionally, seeing people as valuable & precious”.
In Mark 11:22-26, Jesus outlined what it takes to have what could be called (after reading these red letters) “mountain moving faith”. He wrapped up His message on mountain moving faith in verses 25 & 26 instructing His disciples that when we stand praying, we are to FORGIVE anybody that we have fought against so that God can also forgive US. This love thing is a big deal y’all. It’s how faith works! It’s the fuel of the kingdom!
You see, we are not walking in the fullness of what this walk with Jesus has to offer until we are committed to walking in the love of God. This could be a whole BOOK in and of itself, but let me try to break this down practically, quickly, and as efficiently as I can.
When it comes to a committed walk of love, we have to ask ourselves the following basic questions...

Consumed By Fire is...
No strangers to the road life, up-and coming Contemporary Christian Music band, Consumed By Fire, are living out the name of their band in a brand-new way. Comprised of Caleb Ward (lead vocals), Jordan Ward (harmonies/percussion), Josh Ward (guitar/harmonies), the three brothers from Oklahoma are living out God’s calling for their lives, to share God’s grace far and wide through music.
“If it wasn’t this form of ministry, if it wasn’t music, it would just be something else. Ministry is what we were born to do,” Caleb says. The band’s sound, heavily influenced by the music they grew up on, is thanks in part to their father’s eclectic taste. Filled with honest truths and the band’s honed musicality, “First Things First,” the band’s current radio single, is evidence of Consumed By Fire’s family bond and the unconditional love of both their earthly and heavenly fathers.
As their single climbs up the radio charts, the band is already receiving media attention with spotlights from KLove and Air1 Radio, praising the band for their“deft lyricism and tight harmonies.” With new music on the horizon as well as upcoming tour dates, the band is ready for a new, exciting year of music.
