Note sull'episodio

Ever feel like you just can’t connect with that special person in your life? You love them, and they love you, but for some reason the relationship is just not going well? Chip gives us a clue as to what might be happening, and how to fix it.

When we are not deeply and personally loved in ways that make sense to us, we will settle for any number of “pseudo-love” substitutes . . .

  • Affirmation from SUCCESS
  • Adulation from FAME
  • Temporary intimacy from illicit SEX
  • Attention from APPEARANCE or POSSESSIONS
  • Esteem from POSITION
  • Security from WEALTH

The Source of Love:

  • God is the source of love. (1 John 4:7-8)
  • God deposits His love in His follower’s hearts through His Spirit. (1 John 4:13-15)
  • When we are filled (controlled) by the Holy Spirit, the outcome/overflow is fruit. (Galatians 5:22)

How do we get it?

  • God designed love to be birthed and modeled in our FAMILIES. (Ephesians 5:18-6:4)
  • We often experience love most DEEPLY when we need it most DESPERATELY. (Romans 5:3-5)

How do we give it away?

  • The Romans 12 Christian application – “Serving in Love”
