And he will be prepared to create his own definition of love, not based on the shifting definitions of this world, but on God’s Word. My prayer is that as your child (and my child) works on this activity, God’s Word will sink into his heart. The definitions of love are then sorted on the sorting mat, provided on the free download. Once kids have searched and read God’s Word, they cut out and read the phrases listed in the sort about love and decide if they are worldly definitions or God’s definitions. Included on the download are passages of Scripture for kids to read about love. This activity will get our kids searching and reading God’s definition of true love through His Word. In the next couple of weeks, we will be doing a True Love Bible Search and Sort activity.

Just turn on the secular radio station for a couple of songs and you are sure to hear a love song, sung by someone who is just as confused as about love as everyone else. It extends from sexual love to the love between God and man expressed within the concept of Covenant. But the world has a very skewed view of love. Love is a fundamental concept in the Old Testament. If you stopped people on the street and asked them, “What is love?”, you are sure to get a plethora of answers. But it’s a particularly hot topic as we inch closer to Valentine’s Day. It’s a very popular subject any time of year.
