Homily: The Person is the Kind of Good Towards Which the Only Proper and Adequate Attitude is Love

Oct 25, 2017
Basilica of the Immaculate Conception

Welcome to Twin Lakes Baptist Church's Pastor's Page, where we delve into the sermon for the 15th Sunday of Ordinary Time. Today, we explore the profound idea that the person is the kind of good towards which the only proper and adequate attitude is love.

The Beauty of Love

Love is a powerful force that transcends boundaries and brings people together. In our fast-paced world, love is often overshadowed by materialistic pursuits, but it is our firm belief at Twin Lakes Baptist Church that love lies at the core of our existence and should guide our interactions with others.

Understanding the Homily

In today's homily, we dive deep into the transformative power of love. We explore the teachings of scripture and draw practical applications to our everyday lives. By examining the life of Jesus Christ as our ultimate example, we discover how love can shape our attitudes and actions.

Love as the Key Virtue

At Twin Lakes Baptist Church, we firmly believe that love should be the guiding principle in all aspects of our lives. This is especially true when it comes to our relationships with others, whether within our families, at work, or in our wider community.

By cultivating love, we develop empathy, compassion, and a genuine concern for others. This allows us to build stronger, more inclusive communities, where everyone feels valued and appreciated.

Practical Ways to Manifest Love

While the concept of love may seem abstract, we emphasize its practicality. Love is not just an emotion; it is an actionable force that can bring positive change to the world.

Here are some meaningful ways we can manifest love in our daily lives:

  • Show Kindness: Small acts of kindness can have a huge impact on someone's day. A smile, a helping hand, or a kind word can brighten not only the recipient's life but also our own.
  • Practice Forgiveness: Holding grudges and harboring anger only weighs us down. By practicing forgiveness, we free ourselves from negative emotions and create space for love to thrive.
  • Listen with Empathy: In a world filled with distractions, truly listening to others is a rare gift. By empathizing with their joys and sorrows, we show them that they are seen and heard.
  • Support the Vulnerable: Love calls us to stand by those who are marginalized or oppressed. By advocating for justice and equality, we embody love in action.

If you are seeking a community that values the transformative power of love, we invite you to join us at Twin Lakes Baptist Church. We are a diverse and inclusive congregation, dedicated to deepening our faith and spreading love in the world.
