b'Today\\u2019s listener question is about \\u201cdeeds of the flesh\\u201d which includes anger and sensuality, and how perplexing it is. \\u201cIs sex not meant to be enjoyable? And what about when we just can’t help but get angry at a situation?

But if someone has material possessions and sees a brother or sister in need but refuses to help\\u2014how can the love of God dwell in a person like that?\\nLittle children, let\\u2019s not love with words or speech but with action and truth. This is how we will know that we belong to the truth and reassure our hearts in God\\u2019s presence. Even if our hearts condemn us, God is greater than our hearts and knows all things. Dear friends, if our hearts don\\u2019t condemn us, we have confidence in relationship to God. We receive whatever we ask from him because we keep his commandments and do what pleases him. This is his commandment, that we believe in the name of his Son, Jesus Christ, and love each other as he commanded us. Those who keep his commandments dwell in God and God dwells in them. This is how we know that he dwells in us, because of the Spirit he has given us.\\n\\n \\nPhoto by Marco Bianchetti\\nThe post Love with Action and Truth – 1 John 3:16-24 appeared first on Queer Theology.'
