Truth & Knowledge: Episode 70 – “Love Never Fails” In this episode, Trey Knowles dives into a powerful truth: Love changes things. Love makes things better. Where there’s love, the bad stuff starts to fade away. Now, you might be thinking, “Yeah right, the bad stuff disappears?” — but Trey reminds us that love is a two-way street. It’s about giving and receiving. The problem is, many people don’t truly receive love because their attention is caught up somewhere else. Trey gets real about his own journey. He shares how, as a child — and even as a young man — he wanted his own way. He was immature, chasing things that didn’t matter. But when he made the decision to receive God’s love, everything started to shift. His childish ways began to fade. He reminds us that the beginning of knowledge is to fear God. And when you walk in that reverence, all the “bad stuff” loses its hold — because love never fails. Trey also asks an important question: “Am I perfect?” Well, that depends on what you call perfect — and by whose standards. He says, “If I fear the Lord, which I do, then my love never fails.” In this life, we only see part of the picture — a reflection. But one day, we’ll see God face to face. Until then, we worship in part, waiting for the completeness that comes through Jesus Christ. He points to Mark 2:22, reminding us that new wine can’t go into old wineskins. In other words, when love enters our lives, we have to be made new — transformed from the inside out. For now, what remains is faith, hope, and love — and the greatest of these is love. This episode draws from 1 Corinthians 13:8–13, a timeless reminder that: “Love never fails… For now we see only a reflection as in a mirror; then we shall see face to face… And now these three remain: faith, hope and love. But the greatest of these is love.”

Truth & Knowledge: Episode 69 – “Love Always Perseveres” In this episode, Trey Knowles teaches that to persevere means to stay the course and remain steadfast, even in the face of hardship. Love never gives up. No matter the circumstance, Trey emphasizes the importance of choosing to do the will of the Father in heaven rather than our own. True perseverance is a reflection of love that endures and remains obedient to God’s will—whatever it takes. Trey explains that this phrase, “whatever it takes to do the will of God,” points to the example of Jesus Christ, who persevered through suffering on the cross so that we might have life. Just as Jesus endured for our sake, we too must remove anything in our lives that causes us to stumble. He highlights the need for spiritual discernment—to distinguish between what is pure and impure—referencing Matthew 5:29, where Jesus says it is better to lose one part of the body than for the whole body to be thrown into hell. Perseverance, Trey notes, is seen in acts of faith like Abraham’s obedience when he was willing to sacrifice his son to God. Despite the difficulty, Abraham’s unwavering trust revealed the depth of his love for God. As Jesus declared in Matthew 22:36–37, the greatest commandment is to “Love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your mind.” Trey concludes with John 14:15–21, reminding listeners that Jesus promised the Holy Spirit—the Spirit of truth—to those who love and obey Him. Through this Spirit, we are strengthened to persevere in love and obedience. No matter the trials we face, love compels us to remain faithful, steadfast, and obedient to God’s will. Because love always perseveres.

Note: Love is everything; life starts with love because God created you with his love and saved you with his love. For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life John 3:16.

What is Love? Here are the attributes of Love.

Answer: It is written in 1 Corinthians 13:4-7. Love is patient, love is kind. It does not envy, it does not boast, it is not proud. 5 It does not dishonor others, it is not self-seeking, it is not easily angered, it keeps no record of wrongs. 6 Love does not delight in evil but rejoices with the truth. 7 It always protects, always trusts, always hopes, always perseveres.

Note: With the attributes of love, Is the beginning of substance.

The Attributes of Love

by Trey Knowles

Truth & Knowledge: Episode 67 – “Love Always Trusts” In this episode, Trey Knowles shares that while love always trusts, we must be careful not to be deceived. True trust is rooted in God, not in people. He reminds listeners that it is better to take refuge in the Lord than to rely on human strength. As Scripture warns, those who place their trust in man and turn their hearts away from God bring harm upon themselves. Trey emphasizes that genuine love trusts fully in the Lord, who is the only unfailing source of strength and protection.

Truth & Knowledge: Episode 66 – “Love Always Protects” In this episode, Trey Knowles discusses the idea that genuine love always protects — but that protection requires trust. When we fail to trust or listen to the one protecting us, we step outside the safety that love provides. True protection comes through faith and obedience. As Trey reminds listeners, no weapon formed against us can prosper because love stands as our shield. Citing Psalm 28:7, he emphasizes that “The Lord is my strength and my shield; my heart trusts in Him, and He helps me,” underscoring that through trust in God’s love, we remain guarded from harm.

Truth & Knowledge: Episode 65 – “Love Is Not a Status” In this episode, Trey Knowles explores the true meaning of love between a man and a woman, emphasizing that love should not be based on appearance, status, or superficial reasons—but on authenticity and sincerity. He challenges listeners to reflect: Does a woman need to be skinny to be loved? Do I love someone only for their looks? Making another person feel unloved, he explains, is never right. Trey draws from the story of Leah and Rachel in Genesis 29. Rachel was described as beautiful, while Leah was not, yet God blessed Leah in a special way—opening her womb and ultimately allowing Jesus to come from her lineage. This shows that God sees and values those who feel overlooked or unloved, and He has a way of “making up the difference.” Trey encourages listeners who feel unappreciated in relationships to trust that God sees their pain and will bring restoration in His time. Genuine love values a person’s heart, not their status or appearance. When love is based on what someone offers rather than who they are, it isn’t true love.

Truth & Knowledge: Episode 64 – “Love Does Not Delight in Evil” In this episode, Trey Knowles explains that true love rejects evil and aligns itself with what is good. Citing Romans 12:9, “Love must be sincere. Hate what is evil; cling to what is good,” he teaches that if something does not reflect God’s character, we should not condone, watch, listen to, or participate in it. Trey challenges listeners to reflect on what they allow into their hearts and minds—asking, “What are your eyes seeing and your ears hearing? Is it good or bad?” He reminds believers, through Philippians 4:8, to focus on whatever is true, noble, right, pure, lovely, admirable, excellent, or praiseworthy. Love cannot dwell in evil; a holy person turns away from it and clings to goodness.

 Truth & Knowledge: Episode 63 – “Love Keeps No Record of Wrongs”

 Truth & Knowledge: Episode 62 – “Love is Not Easily Angered”

Truth & Knowledge: Episode 61 – “Love Is Not Self-Seeking” In this episode, Trey Knowles teaches that true love is selfless, not self-centered. He warns against living like the characters in the Parable of the Wicked Tenants, who were consumed by greed and self-interest. To be self-seeking is to pursue one’s own desires and ambitions without regard for others—a mindset that stands in direct opposition to God’s love. Trey challenges listeners with a powerful question: “If anyone has material possessions and sees a brother or sister in need but has no pity on them, how can the love of God be in that person?” Genuine love looks beyond personal gain and seeks the well-being of others, reflecting the selfless nature of Christ.

Truth & Knowledge: Episode 60 – “Love Does Not Dishonor Others” In this episode, Trey Knowles discusses the importance of showing honor as an expression of love. To honor someone means to treat them with genuine admiration and respect. Disrespect, on the other hand, is the opposite of love and reveals a lack of honor toward others. Trey emphasizes Proverbs 21:21, which teaches that “Whoever pursues righteousness and kindness will find life, righteousness, and honor.” When we choose to live with integrity and compassion, we not only honor others but also experience the blessings of a life aligned with God’s righteousness. True love, therefore, never dishonors—it uplifts and respects.

 Truth & Knowledge: Episode 59 – “Love Is Not Prideful”

Truth & Knowledge: Episode 58 – “Love Does Not Boast” In this episode, Trey Knowles emphasizes that no one has a reason to boast or make others feel inferior. What we have is not worth boasting about unless it comes from the Lord. If we boast, it should only be in God—His salvation, righteousness, and goodness—recognizing that apart from Him, we are nothing but a mist that appears briefly and then vanishes. Trey references Romans 2:11–13, which teaches that God shows no favoritism. Those who sin without the law will perish without it, and those who sin under the law will be judged by it. It is not enough to merely hear God’s word; we must live it out. True justification comes through obedience and faith, as demonstrated by Abraham. Trey challenges listeners to examine what they boast about—whether it’s achievements, status, or control used to diminish others. Such pride is contrary to love, because love does not boast.
