Intro: Dating is Hard. Keep trying to put your best face forward, scared that if you mess up you'll break up...there is fear that at any moment it could end. Marriage...at least how God intends it to be ends that fear...because you have two people who are devoted to one another as Christ is to us. It's meant to be life long, it's meant to be through sickness and health, better or worse, til death do us part
Charles Spurgeon:- “If I had never joined a church till I had found one that was perfect, I should never have joined one at all, and the moment I did join it, if I had found one, I should have spoiled it, for it would not have been a perfect church after I had become a member of it. Still, imperfect as it is, it is the dearest place on earth to us. All who have first given themselves to the Lord, should, as speedily as possible, give themselves to the Lord’s people. … As I have already said, the church is faulty, but that is no excuse for your not joining it, if you are the Lord’s” - Charles Spurgeon
Consumer approach to church: worship style, preaching is entertaining enough, is there a better option out there
Consumer mindset = less about knowing and serving God, and more about finding a community that serves us and our desires
Easy to love those we like, those we get a long with,
Easy to get along with those who don't challenge us, who requires us to show grace and patience and compassion
DEVOTION IS NOT AN EMOTION BUT LOVE IN CONSTANT MOTION
