LOVE HAS NO SELL BY DATE

LOVE HAS NO SELL BY DATE
LOVE HAS NO SELL BY DATE
LOVE HAS NO SELL BY DATE

Put it together, what do you get? You can have the best, most useful, most spectacular, most dramatic, most spiritual, most whatever you want gift in the world. But if you don’t have love, it does no-one any good and it does you no good. It counts for nothing.
These days, we are inundated with TV programmes about property. How to buy one, how to do one up, how to do up your neighbours, how to find one abroad. Which means most of us know that the three most important things about a house are its location, its location and its location. Oh, and then you might want to consider how many bedrooms, whether there’s a garage, do you like the feel of the living room and so on. Of course, you can have the best location in the world. You can have all the features you desire. But if the house has no roof it’s not a lot of use. It’s no use arguing about whether you’d rather be in Red Street with 2 reception rooms, or in Audley with both kitchen and utility. If there’s no roof you’re wasting your breath.

We can study 1 Corinthians,until we are blue in the face. We can get our priorities regarding the various gifts, the ways in which they are used, the ends for which they are given all absolutely in line with the Bible. But if we don’t have love we are wasting our time.
