Pioneer Operating Budget
John Paul Young’s song “Love Is in the Air” became a worldwide hit in 1978. Its opening lines declare: “Love is in the air, everywhere I look around. Love is in the air, every sight and every sound.” Long before this song was written, Christians have been singing about love in the beloved hymn “Love at Home,” composed by John Hugh McNaughton in 1860. Its opening words remind us, “There is beauty all around when there’s love at home; There is joy in every sound when there’s love at home.” Reflecting on love, the Apostle John writes, “We love because He first loved us” (1 John 4:19, NIV). Love truly fills the air because God loved us first.
While many express love through flowers and gifts, Christians are reminded that the greatest act of love came from Jesus Christ, who gave Himself for a world He loves without end. The Apostle Paul affirms this when he writes: “Husbands, love your wives, just as Christ loved the church and gave himself up for her” (Ephesians 5:25, NIV). Christ’s love, demonstrated on Calvary, is unmatched—its effects are eternal, securing salvation for humanity and restoring the universe.
Today, as we enter God’s loving presence and return our tithes and freewill offerings, let us receive His love with grateful hearts and commit to sharing that love with others. Indeed, love is in the air!
