The “God is Love” tour's purpose is to help both believers and unbelievers understand, from a Biblical perspective, the reality and power of God's love.

“Dear friends, let us love one another, for love comes from God. Everyone who loves has been born of God and knows God. Whoever does not love does not know God, because God is love.” (1 John 4:7-8 NIV).

Most of us think that we really understand the love of God, but our experiences prove otherwise. We feel lonely, depressed, discouraged, and defeated. Every one of these negative emotions would be turned to positive by a proper revelation of God's love for us.

As for loving others, most of us would admit there are some people who are very difficult to love. Since we do not fully understand God's love for us, we fail in loving others. We can't give away what we don't have. If we receive a full revelation of God's love for us, it becomes easy to love others with the love that we have received.

When we struggle to believe that God's promises to us will come to pass, that's unbelief; but the root of that unbelief is a lack of love. Galatians 5:6 says faith works by love. That means love is the driving force behind our faith. Remove or diminish love, and faith ceases to be what it should be. Many of us try too hard to believe in God’s promises to us, when instead we should be seeking a greater revelation of God's love for us. Then, faith would just naturally work.

My prayer is that all who come to hear us will walk away with a greater understanding and revelation of God's love for them.
