What is Love?
There’s a lot of confusion about the meaning of love these days. In some recent weddings, I’ve heard couples close their vows with the phrase, “as long as we both shall love.” That’s quite a shift from “as long as we both shall live.” Such a change moves marital commitments away from decisions of the will to decisions of the heart.
By defining love in almost exclusively emotional terms, popular culture has tended to ignore or even exclude any elements of truth, righteousness, and volition. This is dangerous for many reasons, first and foremost, because according to 1 John 4:8, God’s very essence is love. To misunderstand love, then, is to misunderstand God.
God’s Faithfulness and Protection
“But the Lord is faithful, and he will strengthen you and protect you from the evil one.” ~ 2 Thessalonians 3:3 (NIV)
The Lord will never let us down! His love surrounds and overshadows us in this challenging season. He is faithful in protecting us against our enemies.

Inaction is Costly
“The price of inaction is far greater than the cost of making a mistake.” ~ Meister Eckhart
Do it! Do it now!
For the Lord will give you the strength you need to do whatever He placed in your heart.

Korean Missionary Lesson on “Powerful Leader”
Micah Min and family came to EAST to study for his Master of Arts in Biblical Studies degree. He graduated in 2017 but not before he discovered EAST as a place, “where I grew [in] intimacy with God and with people….”
He admitted that before coming to EAST, he “used to think that a powerful leader is simply one who is very charismatic and passionate, and able to make people under him produce results.” He then concluded, “but I learned that a powerful leader is one who is humble and cares for people genuinely.”
Would you like to join EAST as part of your journey toward being a servant leader?
