One of the ways we understand that God is love (1 John 4:8) is through the truth of the Trinity. God knew love and experienced love before He ever created any persons. The Father, Son and Holy Spirit have existed in perfect, loving relationship for all eternity. If God never created humans He would still have known and experienced loving community. So, love is an essential aspect of the nature & person of God.
This blog contains comments and teaching regarding living the Christian faith and comments on the intersection of faith and many other aspects of life from pop culture to science. It also has some stories--hopefully they are amusing stories--from my life. ~Dan
