Learning to love in “Real Time”
- Responding to Hurts:Truth: Love is patient and kind (1 Corinthians 13:4a); Practice: When hurt, love absorbs the blow and responds with kindness.
- Responding to Differences:Truth: Love does not envy or boast; it is not rude, self-seeking, easily angered, or does it keep a record of wrongs (1 Corinthians 13:4b-5); Practice: Celebrate differences and refuse to compare (1 Corinthians 12:12-31).
- Responding to Failure:Truth: Love doesn't delight in evil but rejoices with truth.... Love never fails (1 Corinthians 13:6-8a); Practice: Love responds to failure with truth and grace.
- Responding to Misplaced Priorities:Truth: Love never fails... (1 Corinthians 13:8-13); Practice: Love ruthlessly refuses to allow temporal “good” things to crowd out the eternal “best” things.
The Supremacy of Love
