- Living For God's Love
In this talk Kathleen shares the way to never fail in life and to hear "well done, good and faithful servant". She speaks to us about not letting your love grow cold. The Bible tells us in the end times the hearts of men will grow cold. All that matters is love. Love and you will have accomplished His will. The enemy wants to take your ability to love from you and see that your heart is hardened. Your responsibility is not to create a great destiny, call in angels, raise amazing children, be perfect. Our only responsibility is to love. Stay in love and in God and you'll never fail because love never fails. Show your love for Jesus by showing your love for His lambs. That includes loving yourself and forgiving yourself. God will take care of you if you take care of others. NOTHING can separate you from the love of Christ.
This talk aired in 2 parts: Part 1 on January 23 and 24 - Part 2 on January 30 and 31.
- Love - How, When and Why
Where does love come from? Do you ever wonder if you really love God? Kathleen discusses how God's faithfulness is revealed in it's consistency. His love is consistently revealed to us anew each time we read the Bible. The enemy will try to fool you, but remember that the only love we have in us is what God has given us.
- Love is Not Easily Angered Part 2
Love is not EASILY angered. God does not say "love is not angered ever at all." There is such a thing as righteous anger. Jesus was angered when the temple was being desecrated. We can operate out of provoked anger, but that will cause strife. There are ways to stop anger and strife from poisoning our lives. Seek patience, the opposite of being hot tempered.
- Love Is Not Easily Angered Part 3
The religious leaders tried to provoke Jesus' anger. In one instance, the Pharisees brought an adulteress to Jesus and asked Him to convict her. When Jesus wrote in the sand, He was showing them how He bought time and prayed before responding to the accusers and the woman. We often get in trouble when we answer too quickly. Most of us are slow to listen, quick to speak, and quick to anger. Although they were trying to trap Him into either saying that scripture was wrong about Moses or letting the adulteress off the hook, He responded by saying "he who is without sin among you, let him cast the first stone." That simple statement was so convicting that everyone left except the accused woman and Jesus. The number one lesson we should learn from this is to take our time and answer slowly.

How to be clothed in love and kindness and uncover rudeness in all its forms.
- Love Your Brother
All of God’s children have a name and He cares deeply about each and every one.
- Receiving God's Love For Yourself (Part 1)
People want to give God's love to the world but do not know how. Before we give anything away, we have to receive it, then possess it, then give it. We cannot give something away that we do not have. Receive means to acquire or partake; possess means to carry it and have it with you; give means to dispense and give out. We have to love ourselves in order to love others. God says over and over to love your neighbors as you love yourself. When you fly, if there is ever a need to have oxygen, they say to apply the mask to yourself first, then help someone else. It is the same with mercy and forgiveness. If you haven't received it, you cannot give it.
- The Father's Heart Through A Mother's Eyes
There are all different kinds of mothers: Spiritual, Biological, Adopted. God compares His love towards us to that of a Mother towards her child. Isa 49:15, "Can a mother forget the baby at her breast and have no compassion on the child she has borne?" Through a Mother's Eyes", I catch glimpses of the heart of the Father. His Compassion, like a mother, God has COMPASSION toward us (His children) through every stage of life. His desire to meet His children right where they are.
- The Relationship (10/17/11)
Christianity is about the Person of Jesus. We are made (by God, Our Creator) to know Him through the Person of Jesus (His Son.)
Any approach we make toward God (with a true heart to want to know Him) He rewards.
- The Word Is Active and Alive
How actively looking for someone to love and help, is the way to peace with God and with yourself.
- Unto The Least Of These
With the love of God (a verb, sacrificial, in action) you can extend yourself to those who are hungry, thirst, naked, imprisoned (literally & figuratively). By doing so, you are feeding, clothing, and loving Jesus
- What Does It Mean To Carry My Cross? (3 of 4)
What is our cross? LOVE. Love God. Love others. Which means dying to self, giving up your own rights: The cross, where our will crosses God's will. Being a Believer does NOT mean that we are part of a "Bless Me" Club, but rather a part of God's LOVE. True LOVE always involves personal sacrifice. Love is a willingness to die.
- When God's Will Is An Inconvenience (1 of 4)
Most of the time, an inconvenience has to do with our neighbor. God's will: Love the Lord your God. Love your neighbor as yourself. When we're inconvenienced and our will doesn't line up with God's will, most of the time it has to do with ours. Compassion always means action. It is not pity; pity will look and turn away. Compassion is an action word. Don't be afraid to be inconvenienced.
