Do we live in a world that is absent of love? Is our love waning as a nation, sure there are acts of generosity and kindness during the holiday seasons but what about the rest of the time? The family still continues to disintegrate, over fifty percent of marriages still end in a divorce. On the surface it would seem that we are a deeply religious nation, statistics say that 84% of Americans believe in the divinity of Jesus Christ and 74% confess commitment to Him. Has our love for the Lord caused a difference in the way we behave as a nation? The real question is, do we act like a Christian nation? Could it be we are a nation that has lost the true meaning of the word love? No longer do we understand what it means to love our neighbor, our spouses, our God! The Bible says, “And though I bestow all my goods to feed the poor, and though I give my body to be burned, but have not love, it profits me nothing,” 1 Corinthians 13:3. It’s very possible for a nation to have a pretence of love, good deeds, feeding the poor, charitable organization and still be totally absent when it comes to love.
