How to Truly Love Like Never Before: An Interview with Dr. Les Parrott

Dr. Les ParrottWhat does it mean to truly love people at the highest level in practical ways every day? How do latest findings in sociology and psychology blend with biblical understanding to reveal often counter-intuitive ways of loving like never before?

Bible Gateway interviewed Dr. Les Parrott (@LesParrott) about his book, Love Like That: 5 Relationship Secrets from Jesus (Thomas Nelson, 2018).

Where does the title of the book come from?

Dr. Les Parrott: That’s easy to answer. It’s a three-word sentence from the Apostle Paul writing to the Ephesians. He says this: Observe how Christ loved us. His love was not cautious but extravagant. He didn’t love in order to get something from us but to give everything of himself to us. Love like that (Ephesians 5:2 MSG).

Dependence Is Not a Dirty Word

Hayley MorganBy Hayley Morgan

One day, my friend Page told me something that made me practically fall off my chair. I was shocked. I was moved. And I’ve been thinking about it for the last two years.

We were sitting cross-legged at Bible study, and she wondered out loud whether in training our children to be independent, we were leading them to be less like Christ. She was musing aloud about the implications of raising children who believe they can do it all on their own—or worse, that they should do it all on their own.

I am one of those people. I can be very proud of my ability to keep it all together. If I’m not careful, I can find value in my independence. I feel more valuable because I’m enough on my own. I don’t really need anyone. Apart from the Lord, left to my own devices, I can begin to think this is a good character trait—one I should celebrate.

My friend’s words snapped me back to reality.

Hope During End-of-Life Care: An Interview with Robin Bertram

Robin BertramAccording to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, the number of people facing terminal and long-term illness will increase 80% by 2020. With life-threatening diseases, terminal illness, and the long-term care of elderly parents, come such questions as: If God is good, why are we going through this? What will our family do during this crisis? How do we fight the fear that’s trying to consume us? How can we encourage reconciliation in our family? Where can we find peace in the journey? What happens when we die? Is there life after death? What’s heaven like?

Bible Gateway interviewed Robin Bertram (@robinbertram) about her book, Hidden Treasures: Finding Hope at the End of the Journey (Abingdon Press, 2018).

What God Says Is Most Important

Tim TebowBy Tim Tebow

Bible Gateway interviewed Tim Tebow (@TimTebow) about his book, This Is the Day: Reclaim Your Dream. Ignite Your Passion. Live Your Purpose. (WaterBrook, 2018).

[Read the Bible Gateway Blog post, Discovering Your Identity in Life’s Storms: An Interview with Tim Tebow]

Many times, our opinion of God is affected by what other people have said to us, more than likely the same people that we probably shouldn’t have listened to in the first place.

I know what it feels like to be deeply disappointed by something someone said. Over the years, I’ve talked with different coaches and have been in meetings with different general managers who’ve assured me, in their own words, “Tim, I’ve got your back. And I’m going to fight for you.” But when it was crunch time, their words were meaningless. They didn’t have my back. And they certainly didn’t fight for me.
