The roar of love |
gregnettle.com is the blog of Greg Nettle, Senior Pastor of RiverTree Christian Church. The Roar of Love is a favorite description of how Greg describes God's love for all people. Greg has dedicated his life to sharing the Good News of Jesus Christ with as many people as possible in the most effective ways possible. Greg believes that the sign of a mature Christian is not how far they remove themselves from the world, but how deeply they penetrate the world with the "roar of God's love."

I am a diehard Cleveland Browns fan that dies hard every year. I have traveled to Peru, Ecuador, Ireland, Tanzania, England, France, Holland, South Africa, Wales, Northern Ireland, Canada, Mexico, Jamaica, Haiti and Scotland. And there’s nothing I would rather do than have a cup of coffee with my wife, Julie, at our local Starbucks. I enjoy bungee jumping, whitewater rafting and skydiving. The faster the roller coaster the better. My most recent adventures have included climbing Mount Kilimanjaro and a spiritual pilgrimage to Israel. I have read more than 50 books a year for the past 20 years but my favorite is to read the Bible with my 10 year old daughter, Tabitha and newly adopted son, Elijah. I used to travel and sing with Rich Mullins and I have had breakfast with Jerry Falwell. I would rather spend an hour with Howard Stern than an hour with the Pope. I love Kraft macaroni and cheese out of a box, Ho Ho’s, filet mignon and lobster with drawn butter—jalapenos on everything.

"Then the King will say to those on His right, 'Come, you who are blessed by my Father; take your inheritance, the kingdom prepared for you since the creation of the world. For I was hungry and you gave me something to eat, I was thirsty and you gave me something to drink, I was a stranger and you invited me in. I needed clothes and you clothed me, I was sick and you looked after me. I was in prison and you came to visit me.' Then the righteous will answer Him, 'Lord when did we see you hungry and feed you, or thirsty and give you something to drink? When did we see you a stranger and invite you in, or needing clothes and clothe you? When did we see you sick or in prison and go to visit you?' Then the King will resply, 'I tell you the truth, whatever you did for one of the least of these brothers of mine, you did for me.'" - Matthew 25:34-40
"All the believers were together and had everything in common. Selling their possessions and goods, they gave to anyone as he had need." - Acts 2:44-45.
Greg,
I once heard a Pastor in a third world country say "How can we ask God for more when we have not used what He has already given us? How can we ask God to provide for us, when we still have money in the bank?"
