The Cross as the Lasting Proof of God’s Love

Published on by Texas GospelLeave a comment

The depth of God’s love was made clear when He sent His Son, Jesus, to die for humanity’s sins. No request a person makes in prayer, no matter how important it seems, will ever require a greater act of love than what God has already shown through the sacrifice at Calvary. The offering of Jesus was a selfless and unmatched gift, showing the extent of God’s care for people.

Since God has already given His greatest gift, every other blessing or need we bring to Him is smaller in comparison. This truth makes it difficult to doubt His love. When faced with uncertainty about God’s care or goodness, one need only reflect on the cross to see undeniable evidence of His love.

“For God so loved the world, that He gave His only Son, so that everyone who believes in Him will not perish, but have eternal life.

John 3:16

The Fear of Change

In Luke 8:37, we read about a moment when the people of the Gerasenes asked Jesus to leave their area because they were filled with fear. Jesus had just freed a man possessed by many demons. These evil spirits entered a herd of pigs, which then ran off a cliff and drowned. Word of this spread quickly, and people came from nearby towns to see for themselves.

When they arrived, they saw the man — once wild and dangerous — now calm and in his right mind. You might expect them to celebrate this miracle, but instead, fear gripped them. They couldn’t deny what had happened, yet the power that made it possible unsettled them.

Some people are frightened by what they cannot control, even when it brings good. The idea of a God who holds such power can feel threatening because it means lives might change in unexpected ways. Not everyone welcomes goodness when it challenges the world they know.

Taste and see that the Lord is good;
How blessed is the man who takes refuge in Him!

Psalm 34:8

Harmony Through Shared Truth

When people live in peace and work together, it brings joy and strength to a community. Psalm 133:1 tells us, “How good and pleasant it is when brothers live together in unity.” This applies especially to the church.

In music, harmony requires two things. First, everyone must sing the same song—if each person uses a different piece of music, the result is disorder. Second, each person should sing their part, not the same note. The beauty comes from different voices blending together. The same is true for the church.

Christians follow one source: the Bible. It’s the foundation for what we believe and how we live. However, we each bring our own voice, with different perspectives and gifts. This diversity doesn’t weaken unity; instead, it strengthens it.

For just as the body is one and yet has many parts, and all the parts of the body, though they are many, are one body, so also is Christ.

1 Corinthians 12:12

The Kingsmen’s ‘Go and Tell Somebody’ brings together heart, stories and worship

SPECIAL CROSSROADS RECORDS

Arden, North Carolina (August 1, 2025) — They may be in the middle of a busy touring season, but Southern Gospel legends, the Kingsmen, haven’t forgotten their wider audience. With the release of their latest Horizon Records single, “Go and Tell Somebody,” the quartet continues to take long-time fans down some familiar byways even as they reach out to new ones with renewed attention to their magnificent catalog.

“One of our desires approaching our 70th anniversary has been to bring some of the old Kingsmen hits and fan favorites up to date so we can keep singing them for many more years,” the group observes. “So many of these songs are still fresh and exciting for today’s audiences, and just enough inventive tweaking makes them new all over again.”

For “Go and Tell Somebody,” that tweaking manifests itself in a livelier tempo that reflects the urgency of the song’s plea — though those familiar with the original will be reassured to learn that its signature harmonica part, performed here by renowned multi-instrumentalist David Johnson, has accompanied the song into its new setting. The result has more energy than ever, as the group’s members take turns offering its simple, yet profound Biblical lesson:

There once was a blind man, the Lord gave him sight.
He had to tell somebody, he couldn’t keep it quiet.
For once He’s touched you, you’re never the same,
You gotta tell somebody, you gotta praise His name.
Go and tell somebody what He’s done for you.
Go and tell somebody what the Lord can do.
How He gave you vict’ry, how He’s brought you through.
Go and tell somebody what He’s done for you.

“‘Go and Tell Somebody’ has heart, energy, stories, and worship all wrapped up in one song,” notes the quartet. “We are thrilled to reintroduce this Jeff Gibson classic to the Christian music world.”

God’s Perfect Love and Unchanging Holiness

God’s nature is, above all, loving. Love is not something God does occasionally — it is a constant part of who He is. The Bible describes God as light, with no trace of darkness in Him. This means there is no evil, sin, or imperfection within God’s character. Everything about Him is pure, holy, and right.

Because God is completely holy and perfect, it is impossible for Him to act unjustly or harmfully toward any of His children. His holiness ensures that all His actions are good, and His love guarantees care and fairness. No situation would ever cause God to mistreat those who belong to Him.

This is the message we have heard from Him and announce to you, that God is Light, and in Him there is no darkness at all.

1 John 1:5
