Since February is known as the “love month,” we’re starting a new series this week at Calvary Assembly of God called “Love(4)” = love to the fourth power.

I’m keying off this exchange between an expert lawyer and Jesus:

“Teacher, which is the greatest commandment in the Law?” The lawyer asked.

Jesus replied, “Love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your mind and with all your strength. This is the first and greatest commandment.”

Four dimensions of love: heart, soul, mind, strength.

Love to the fourth power.

I also want to give credit to Mark Batterson and his excellent book Primal for reawakening me to the power of this foundational concept.

I’d love for you to join us at 10:30am on any Sunday in February for a new look at this higher love.
