Episode Description
In this program, Chip shares four biblical principles that set the tone and establish the foundation for the rest of these programs. He starts with a very concrete look at what love is - and what love is not.
How do you keep love alive?
- Ephesians 5:25-33
- Very rarely, do we take how Jesus loves the Church and use that as our model for how we are to love one another in marriage.
- Your marriage is not just about your PERSONAL fulfillment. -John 13:1-17, 33-35
- Other than the Church of Jesus Christ, your relationship with your mate is the single most powerful testimony of the reality of God.
Principles:
- Love is not a FEELING.
- Love is SERVING. -Philippians 2:3-4
- Love must be RECEIVED.
- Love is UNCONDITIONAL.
Practical Implications:
- Love is a CHOICE.
- Love MEETS the NEEDS of the one loved.
- Love requires extreme HUMILITY and SECURITY.
