Dr. Dave Hartman presented an Easter Message to our club, The Six Loves of Scripture.
- Theo centrism: God Loving God (Father, Son & Holy Spirit)
- Eros: Passionate Love, usually originating in physical desire.
- Storge: Parental Love (Maternal and Paternal)
- Philia: Brotherly, Sisterly, Friendly Love.
- Patria: Love of country or homeland.
- Agape: Divine Love, Originating in God, extended through us unto others
This is holy week. On Thursday, Maundy Thursday, Jesus was betrayed by Judas. On Friday, Good Friday, Jesus was crucified. On Saturday, Jesus body was laid in the tomb. On Sunday, Easter Sunday, Jesus rose from the dead as he had said he would.
Dr. Hartman mentioned Gloria Patri. Glory be to the Father, and to the Son, and to the Holy Spirit, as it was in the beginning, is now and ever shall be, world without end. Amen.
Jesus said, “Love one another as I have loved you.”
I am. Ego. Such as, John 14:6, I am the Way and the Truth and the Life.
Every message from Dr. Hartman can turn out to be individualized to the one hearing it. What I heard may not be what the person next to me heard or understood. I thank God that Dr. Hartman is in our Rotary club, and I can hear him pray and speak.
On conclusion of the program, Staci stated that there will be a donation made to the WFISD Foundation in the name of Dr. Dave Hartman for speaking with us today.
After the Four Way Test, we adjourned.
