February is often equated with Valentine’s Day. Our popular Valentine’s themed John 3:16 tract is enclosed. The world today tells us that “Love is Love”. But is it? More importantly, is that Biblical. An excerpt from a BLOG at Living Hope Bible Church reads:
But should followers of Christ use the phrase “love is love”? I believe the answer is clearly, “no.” Let me suggest just two reasons.
First, “love is love” suggests that love is self-defining, that it cannot be qualified and simply is. This would make love somehow self-existent and foundational – something like, “Love is what it is and you cannot question it.” Love is certainly a primal and powerful reality. But self-defining it is not.
…
There’s a second reason Christians shouldn’t accept or use the phrase “love is love.” Very simply, the phrase is generally used to condone LGBT lifestyles. But Scripture unequivocally condemns homosexuality. The apostle Paul wrote, “Do you not know that the unrighteous will not inherit the kingdom of God? Do not be deceived: neither the sexually immoral, nor idolaters, nor adulterers, nor men who practice homosexuality, nor thieves, nor the greedy, nor drunkards, nor revilers, nor swindlers will inherit the kingdom of God.” (1 Cor. 6:9 – 10)
…
So to use the phrase “love is love”, knowing that it is generally used to promote and celebrate LGBT experience, is to call good what God has called bad, to justify what God judges, to affirm what God abhors. The prophet Isaiah said, “Woe to those who call evil good and good evil, who put darkness for light and light for darkness, who put bitter for sweet and sweet for bitter” (Isaiah 5:20)!

I encourage you to read the rest of the article as I believe it provides some Biblical insight that may be useful as you witness to people this month.
As we mentioned last month, we are excited to share some new tract designs. There are two new ones enclosed. The “Repent Believe Acts 20:24” is designed by OneMillionTracts.com. Yard signs and stickers are also available on that website.
Second, “The original love letters” tract points people to the Biblical message about love, that God so loved us that He sent His son, Jesus!
Finally the popular Get Out of Hell Free tract is enclosed. When you hand these out be sure to have a few extras on hand because people often ask for more to give to their family and friends. Or if you give one to someone, another person nearby may have their curiosity piqued and ask you for one too!
