         The Power of Love
  
         February often draws our attention to love-and rightly so. For the Taylor Baptist Association, this month gives us a wonderful opportunity to reflect on The Power of Love as we serve Christ together across the Big Bend area of North Florida and beyond. God's love is not merely something we talk about; it is something we live out as His people on mission.
  
         The Apostle Paul reminds us in Colossians 3:16, "Let the word of Christ dwell in you richly... singing with grace in your hearts to the Lord." When the Word of Christ fills our hearts, it shapes our actions. It moves us to love one another deeply and to share the love of Christ faithfully with a world that desperately needs true love-the love that only Jesus can give.
  
         This month's newsletter highlights many opportunities where people can experience the love of God in tangible ways. From youth and children's activities that invest in the next generation, to gospel sings and revival services that lift high the name of Jesus; from women's gatherings that encourage and strengthen hearts, to Valentine-themed celebrations that point beyond sentimental love to Christ-centered love-our association is busy creating spaces where God's love is clearly seen and felt.
  
         I am especially grateful for the faithful missions giving and hands-on ministry efforts of our churches. These acts of generosity and service truly demonstrate God's love in action-locally, nationally, and around the world. Through cooperative missions, compassion ministries, and shared gospel work, the Taylor Baptist Association continues to show that love is more than words; it is a lifestyle shaped by the gospel.
  
         February may be the shortest month of the year, but we are long on God's love. As we work together, may the Word of Christ dwell richly in us, overflow through us, and reach our communities with the powerful, transforming love of Jesus Christ.
  
         Thank you for loving God, loving one another, and loving a world in need.
  
  With a grateful heart,
  Henry B. Cannington Jr. Taylor Baptist Association
