Liberalism and Pentecostals

Our day today has been studying liberal spirituality and pentecostalism. The history does not always grab me, but I have learned that liberal theology has not changed much over the years and one thing is for sure - one persons liberal is another person's conservative. Have terms like this become overused and far to relative? I would always hope to be found somewhere in the middle.
This is a scripture that we spent some time studying:

1John 4:7 ¶ Dear friends, let us love one another, for love comes from God. Everyone who loves has been born of God and knows God.

1John 4:8 Whoever does not love does not know God, because God is love.

1John 4:9 This is how God showed his love among us: He sent his one and only Son into the world that we might live through him.

1John 4:10 This is love: not that we loved God, but that he loved us and sent his Son as an atoning sacrifice for our sins.

1John 4:11 Dear friends, since God so loved us, we also ought to love one another.


Liberal conservative? Just love one another and live through Christ - it sounds so very easy. How have you expressed Christ's love today?
