We are continuing with our series “The Four Loves” and this week we look at Philia - the love of friendship. Often overlooked in the world, Scripture reminds us of how important Philia is. Join us as we discover what the Word of God says about friendship love. Passage: Proverbs 18:24
In dieser Predigt von Leo und Susanna Bigger geht es darum, wie du interessant für deinen Partner bleibst. Sie beleuchten die drei Arten der Liebe: Agape, Philia und Eros. Agape ist die selbstlose Liebe, die uns dazu beruft, den anderen in den Mittelpunkt zu stellen, inspiriert von Bibelstellen wie Hohelied 8:6. Philia, die freundschaftliche Liebe, wird durch Komplimente und Dankbarkeit gestärkt. Eros, die leidenschaftliche Liebe, soll mit Hingabe und Heiligkeit gelebt werden. Leo und Susanna ermutigen dich, diese Liebesarten in deinem Alltag zu integrieren, um Beziehungen zu vertiefen und zu erneuern. Sie betonen, dass Gott die Quelle dieser Liebe ist und dass du durch seine Hilfe in der Lage bist, diese Liebe zu leben. Welche Art der Liebe möchtest du heute in deinem Leben stärken?

Há amigos e amigos… São múltiplos os rótulos: os meros conhecidos, os amigos do trabalho, os amigos de infância, os amigos dos velhos tempos, os amigos da boa vida, os amigos da farra, os amigos coloridos, os amigos da onça, os amigos de Jó, os amigos das redes sociais e por aí fora… Usamos, inexplicavelmente, o mesmo termo para relacionamentos díspares, de quem está longe, muito longe, de ser um amigo do peito, um amigo do coração ou um amigo para a vida… E não há sombra de dúvida sobre quais são os preferidos. O amor philia é caro, muito caro. O valor da amizade genuína é incalculável, de tão preciosa ser, pois envolve renúncia, sacrifício, desprendimento, empatia, verdade, graça e mais um sem número de virtudes… Diante de tão alto padrão, é incontornável observar e imitar o Amigo perfeito, Jesus em Pessoa, que assim procede(u) com todos. (Ah, e já agora, uma questão (im)pertinente, se levanta: que tipo de amigo sou eu?) Detalhes sobre a celebração 11 maio @Bible.com Disponível no canal do YouTube.

How does love fit into your life? Are you aware of your love or being loved? Love is fundamental to human existence; expressing love and feeling loved are key to a healthy and productive life. In reality, love is essential but is often forgotten. This episode explores how one small word—love—encompasses a vast spectrum of human experiences. While English limits us to a single term, ancient Greeks and Romans recognized nine distinct types of love that shape our relationships, creativity, and sense of self. Join us as we unpack these nine "colors" of love: from passionate Eros to playful Ludus, from the selfless Agape to the practical Pragma. Learn how these different expressions of love influence your daily life, your relationships, and your personal development. Through a simple yet powerful exercise called "The Love List," you'll discover which types of love dominate your life and which might be missing. This exploration isn't just theoretical—it's a pathway to deeper self-understanding and more meaningful connections with others. Whether you're reflecting on romantic relationships, family bonds, creative pursuits, or your relationship with yourself, this episode offers a framework to understand and express love in all its beautiful complexity. Hey there! Ever wondered how love fits into the grand scheme of your life? Join me, Paul Harvey, your midlife coach, in this bite-sized episode of the Life Passion and Business Shortcast where we dive into the essence of love. We all know love is fundamental to human existence, right? Yet, we often brush past it in our daily grind without giving it the spotlight it deserves. In this engaging episode, I explore how we can weave love into every aspect of our lives, from trivial things like our favorite foods to deeper connections we share with our families and friends. I invite you to make a 'love list'—an enlightening exercise that helps you map out the different kinds of love you experience. Have you ever thought about how your love for pizza differs from the love you feel for your partner? Or how does time spent with an old school friend evoke philia love? Together, we uncover the different faces of love as viewed through the lens of ancient Greek and Latin words—like Eros for passionate love, Philia for deep friendship, and Agape for unconditional love. It's all about recognizing these varying degrees in the everyday actions and relationships that fill our lives with meaning. We also tackle the importance of self-love, Philautia, emphasizing how acknowledging and embracing who we are can empower us to climb higher and weather the storms of life. This exploration isn't just about understanding; it's also about feeling and expressing love, which, as you'll see, is a true game-changer in your personal development journey. So, whether you wish to find more passion, build deeper relationships, or simply understand yourself better, this episode might just be the nudge you need. Don't forget to share it with a friend or leave a comment—let's spread the love and remind everyone that love truly is the better option! When you have completed your love list, mark it up as directed. Here are the different forms of love to remind you. Eros: Romantic Love, the Greek god of love, the Cupid cherub Philia: Affectionate love. This is the love between friends Agape: Unconditional; it is the love of sacrifice. Storge: Family love; it is how we feel about our parents and children Mania: Fixation and obsession are also forms of love. Ludus: Play Pragma: Pracicality. Meraki: The Art of Creation. Philautia: Self Love. For more information, check out the links below, and if you found this useful, consider buying me a coffee below.

Love is often seen as a fleeting feeling—something that rises and falls with emotions and circumstances. But what if real love is more than that? What if it's a choice, a commitment, and a force strong enough to heal, transform, and restore? In a world marked by brokenness, understanding love can feel like an uphill battle. In this episode, we dive deep into the raw, unshakable meaning of love—how it shapes who we are, redefines our relationships, and reveals the heart of God. This is about more than feelings—it's about the kind of love that lasts.#love #biblicallove

Hey there, brothers! This episode of the Manly Catholic dives deep into "Philia," the Greek word for friendship, exploring how this love forms the backbone of true brotherhood. Forget the superficial hangouts; we're talking about the kind of bond where iron sharpens iron, just as Proverbs says. We kick off post-Super Bowl, reflecting on more than just who won the game but on the deeper connections we should strive for in our lives. I challenge you to look at your friendships: are they just for watching sports, or do they push you towards virtue and sanctity? Philia isn't just camaraderie; it's a sacred, Christ-centered relationship that demands vulnerability and mutual growth.You'll discover how Jesus himself modeled this friendship, inviting us into a divine camaraderie. We'll tackle modern challenges like fear of vulnerability, the illusion of social media connections, and our culture's competitive nature, which can erode true brotherhood. Actionable Insights:Reflect on Your Circle: Evaluate who you spend time with. Are they pushing you towards sainthood or just another game night?Cultivate Deep Connections: Make time for meaningful conversations, not just casual meetups. Be intentional about deepening your relationships.Pray for Friendship: If you feel isolated, pray for the right companions who can challenge and support your spiritual journey.Key Takeaway for Men:Embrace Vulnerability: True friendship requires sharing struggles, not just victories. Open up about your challenges, and you'll find strength in those who lift you up.This episode isn't just about friendship; it's about forming a brotherhood that reflects God's love. Don't miss out on transforming your life through the power of philia. Tune in now, and let's build a fraternity that stands the test of time.

When I hear the many reasons why men and women don't want to be together today it saddens me to know that a large portion of it has to do with money and material things and most women will not accept a man who can't buy things for her, so what if you men took the same approach he won't accept the woman unless she can buy things for him did you hear what I just said that's exactly what's happening men know women's income is coming up the scale to become equal with them, now they are considering that their next potential partner be someone who can buy things for them not have him buying things for her so you have a stand off oh yeah we'll still do the one night stands, which will never become a happy marriage that's just one happy night. God never meant for it to be this way God wanted man and woman to procreate which means they're going to have to live together, dwell together and raise the kids together. We have determined that there are 4 different types of love that's Agape which means love for God, an unconditional, selfless love, we help neighbors, helping community, treating others with kindness. Greatest example of agape love is what God did for man through Jesus Christ. Eros the physical and sexual love for your spouse (passion & romance), Philia the love for your fellow man. Meaning friendship or an affectionate regard for them. Storge the natural affection and fondness that family members have for one another storge is a type of love that's built on comfort, familiarity, trust, acceptance, warranty and support it's the love that parents feel for their children and vice versa. For Grandparents and Grandkids uncles and aunts.

Join the Millennial Mustard Seed host, Rod Smith, for a thought-provoking voyage into the unusual, unexplained and unexplored facets of the world we live! Armed with a seeker's humility and a Biblical lens Millennial Mustard Seed never fails to inspire, provoke and intrigue listeners to deepen their faith. Rod and some of the crew from the men's Thursday night prayer call record a powerful round table conversation. Eric, Nick, Brett, Aaron and Terry speak on numerology, Ephod, gemstones and spiritual warfare. This is just a few of the highlights the men cover on this sharpening episode. Profound and Powerful is an understatement, yet wrapped in meekness this is another conversation for the record! Let's Go! Philia is the Greek word for close friendship or brotherly love. It is one of the four types of love in the Bible. St. Augustine understood this form of love to describe a love of equals who are united in a common purpose, pursuit, good, or end. Philadelphos is another Greek term for loving one's brother. It has less to do with emotion and more to do with loyalty, companionship, and shared experiences. The Greek word “philostorgos” is translated as “brotherly love” and describes the bonds of love that bind family members together.

I heard a well-meaning pastor and theologian say by way of application from his reading of Ephesians 5:22-25 these words: Godly women want to feed their men. Godly women are designed to make the sandwiches. This is not an absolute law, like the one about making babies, and there are times when a man fends for himself and makes quite a decent sandwich. But in the general scheme of things, the apostle Paul wants the women to make the sandwiches.[1] My question to you, is that what Ephesians 5:22-25 is teaching? So, here is how I hope to answer that question. I hope to answer the above question by showing you how the willful subjecting of the wife to her husband and the sacrificial love of the husband for his wife is the apostle Pauls way of showing us what Ephesians 4:1-3 looks like in marriage; consider these verses in light of marriage: ...walk in a manner worthy of the calling with which you have been called, with all humility and gentleness, with patience, bearing with one another in love, being diligent to keep the unity of the Spirit in the bond of peace. The way I am going to show you what sandwiches have to do with marriage is by explaining what Ephesians 5:22-25 is saying, then I will show what these verses mean for your marriage, and finally, we will look at some examples of Jesus and what He thinks about sandwich making. What is Ephesians 5:22-25 Really Saying? So what is Ephesians saying? Let me begin answering that question by unpacking what the Greek word hypotassō(ὑά) means; it can be translated as subject, subordinate, or submit. Although every major translation except the NASB (95 and 2020 editions) decided to use the word submit instead of subject I believe subject is a better translation. So what is the big deal? Why do I think it matters how hypotassō is translated? In the most literal sense, the word means to order oneself under and in the case of the wife, she is to willingly order herself under the headship of her husband, which is much less confusing than submit and leaves less room for this verse to be abused in the ways it has been used in an attempt to subjugate Christian women. This is why I believe subject is a better way to translate this word, besides the fact that most of the time the word is used in the New Testament, it is rightfully translated as subject. Permit me to show you two other places hypotassō is used and why subject is a better translation of the word for Ephesians in the way wives ought to respond to their husbands. The first is Luke 2:41-52 when Mary and Joseph traveled from Nazareth to Jerusalem with 12-year-old Jesus to celebrate the Passover. Because they most likely traveled with friends and family, they did not realize they left Jesus in Jerusalem on their way back home to Nazareth. So, Joseph and Mary turned back (probably in a panic) to go get 12-year-old Jesus and it is in Luke 2:48-51 that we see how hypotassō is used and translated: When Joseph and Mary saw Him, they were bewildered; and His mother said to Him, Son, why have You treated us this way? Behold, Your father and I have been anxiously looking for You! And He said to them, Why is it that you were looking for Me? Did you not know that I had to be in My Fathers house? And yet they on their part did not understand the statement which He had made to them. And He went down with them and came to Nazareth, and He continued to be subject [hypotassō] to them; and His mother treasured all these things in her heart. What did Jesus do at the age of 12 as fully God and fully human? How did he respond to his mother and stepfather as the rightful King of kings and Lord of lords? He willingly placed Himself under the headship of his mother and stepfather as a 12-year-old boy. Jesus was in Jerusalem because He had to be in His Fathers house but returned to Nazareth with Joseph and Mary because He was still under their headship. The other place the word is used is in Romans 13:1. Remember that the Empire of Rome wanted to suppress Christianity, and it was because of Pauls preaching that Rome eventually sentenced him to death by beheading, yet Paul wrote, Every person is to be subject [hypotassō] to the governing authorities. For there is no authority except from God, and those which exist are established by God. Paul willingly subjected himself under the Roman government but refused to disobey God when Romans demanded him to do so. With the same humility that led Jesus to subject Himself under the authority of Joseph and Mary, the wife is to subject herself under the headship of her husband. With the same understanding and trust Paul had of God and in His sovereign reign over governments the wife is called to subject herself to her husband knowing that he will have to answer for every decision made in the home and will be held to account for how he loved his wife who is first and foremost a daughter of God Almighty. Now, what is the scope that the wife is to subject herself under the headship of her husband? Look at verse 24, for it here that we are told: But the church is subject to Christ, so also the wives ought to be to their husbands in everything. Paul is not saying that you, wives, must be submissive in everything your husband tells you to do but to subject yourself under his headship as the one God has called to lead as one called by God to protect and provide as priest over your home out of a motivation to lay down his life for your good out of the kind of love that led Jesus to a cross: Husbands, love your wives, just as Christ also loved the church and gave Himself up for her (v. 25). What Does Ephesians 5:22-25 Mean for Life and Marriage? So, what does Ephesians 5:22-25 mean for your marriage? What it means, is that, unlike the worlds perverted view of sex and marriage, you are to walk in a manner worthy of your calling in your marriage, as a parent or as a child (6:1-4), and in your obedience to those placed in authority over you, who you work for, or how you exercise your God-given authority (6:5-9). Think about what we have seen in Ephesians 4:1-5:21 as the application of who you are as one who once was dead but now is alive in Christ. You were redeemed and saved to walk in the good works Jesus redeemed us for (Eph. 2:10). As a child of God and His representation in a dark and evil world, you are to walk in a manner worthy of the calling with which you have been called... (4:1). In light of your calling as a child of light, we are commanded to be, imitators of God, as beloved children and as beloved children, we are to walk in love, just as Christ also loved you and gave Himself up for us (5:1-2). Now in everything that we say and do, we are to, be careful how you walk, not as unwise people but as wise, making the most of your time because the days are evil (vv. 15-16). So, when it comes to what we say and how we treat one another as brothers and sisters in Christ regardless of whether you are single, married, employed, a student and living at home with mom and dad, caring for your elderly parents, we are commanded by God through the apostle Paul to, subject yourselves to one another in the fear of Christ (v. 21). But what does Christlikeness look like in marriage and what does Ephesians 5:22-25 have to do with making sandwiches? Here is the way I see it: With the same humility Christ demonstrated and we are all called to practice (see Phil. 2:3-8), wives are to subject themselves to their husbands with the same humility Jesus demonstrated on earth during His incarnation as fully human while remaining fully God. With the same selfless love that compelled Jesus to live the life we could never live and die the death we all deserved; husbands have and demonstrate for their wives. With the same honor and dependence Jesus demonstrated on earth regarding God the Father, so believing Children are to honor their parents. And, with the same willingness to subject Himself under the cross imposed by the Roman empire, so Christian slaves and employees are to obediently bear the burden they are called to with the same dedication Christ had not to Rome, but for the glory of God the Father. As a wife, or as a husband, or as a child, or as a parent, or as a boss, or as a slave/employee... we are all commanded out of love and reverent fear for Christ to, walk in a manner worthy of the calling with which you have been called (4:1), and to do so as imitators of God, as beloved children, just as Christ also loved you and gave Himself up for us (5:1-2). What Does Jesus Say about Who Should be Making the Sandwiches in Life and Marriage? Now, a word about who Paul expected to make sandwiches when he wrote Ephesians. The motivation of subjecting yourself under the headship of your husband is not because you are obligated to submit to whatever he wants, but because of a motivation for your love for Jesus. This is the point of verse 22 and Colossians 3:18, which states: Wives, be subject to your husbands, as is fitting in the Lord. Then, just a few verses later, we read: Whatever you do, do your work heartily, as for the Lord and not for people, knowing that it is from the Lord that you will receive the reward of the inheritance (Col. 3:20-21). Just because you are married does not mean that you are now a slave; if you are a follower of Christ who happens to be a wife or thinking about marriage, it is out of a radical love and deep reverence for Christ that in wanting to glorify Him in all that you do and knowing that He loves you infinitely more than any man on earth can... that you are willing to subject yourself to under the headship of your husband because of Gods design for marriage. Now, a word to the men of Meadowbrooke: Consider the ways Jesus demonstrated His love for His Church during His incarnation. We do not have the time to look at every example, but I do want you to consider some of them that we discover by reading the four gospels: Well, for starters, Despite the cold shoulder Jesus received from the people He came to die for, His love compelled Him to persistently pursue them; how are you to love your wife? Be an imitator of God who is mindful of the great love and rich mercy you received because of Gods amazing grace, and walk in love before your wife and children, just as Christ also loved you and gave Himself up for us (5:1-2). Jesus demonstrated His love for His Bride even when she said and did things that frustrated Him (see Matt. 16:5-12 as an example). Jesus grieved with His Bride when she suffered loss (see John 11:1-44). Jesus loved His Bride when He washed the feet of His disciples in the upper room (John 13:5-20) Jesus loved His Bride even while she could not stay awake during His hour of need and still prayed for her wellbeing (Luke 22:39-46; John 17). Jesus loved His Bride even when She denied She knew Him (John 18:25-27). Jesus loved His Bride even though he was abused emotionally and physically because of His love for Her (John 18:12-24, 28-19:15). Jesus loved His Bride even to the point of carrying a cross She deserved for the purpose of dying a death He did not deserve on her behalf (John 19:16-30). So, men of Meadowbrooke Church, if you love your wives in the same way Christ loved His bride, are you really going to demand that she make you a sandwich? I do not believe for one second that Paul expected the wife to make the sandwiches! I believe the point he was making is that if the wife and husband are walking with Jesus out of a reverence and love for Him, their marriage will be stronger for it. She will subject herself under his headship in humility out of her reverence and love for Jesus, and he will want to love his wife deeply and sacrificially because of his deep love and reverence for Jesus. Here is why I believe Paul had in mind that both the wife and the husband would make the sandwiches. Between the two, the kind of love that leads them to one another begins with Philia (friendship love) which has grown into an unconditional agape (unconditional love), and the fruit of that philia and agape love is eros (erotic/physical love). The fruit of a Christ-centered marriage should be the kind of love described in 1 Corinthians 13:4-7, Love is patient, love is kind, it is not jealous; love does not brag, it is not arrogant. It does not act disgracefully, it does not seek its own benefit; it is not provoked, does not keep an account of a wrong suffered, it does not rejoice in unrighteousness, but rejoices with the truth; it keeps every confidence, it believes all things, hopes all things, endures all things. Love never fails; but if there are gifts of prophecy, they will be done away with; if there are tongues, they will cease; if there is knowledge, it will be done away with. The other reason why I reject the ridiculous notion that Paul wants the wife to make the sandwiches is because of 1 Corinthians 7:1-5 in a relationship the fruit of a genuine friendship (philia) and unconditional love (agape) is physical and erotic love (eros). Listen to these verses carefully and you tell me if the woman is the only one called to make a sandwich? Now concerning the things about which you wrote, it is good for a man not to touch a woman. But because of sexual immoralities, each man is to have his own wife, and each woman is to have her own husband. The husband must fulfill his duty to his wife, and likewise the wife also to her husband. The wife does not have authority over her own body, but the husband does; and likewise the husband also does not have authority over his own body, but the wife does. Stop depriving one another, except by agreement for a time so that you may devote yourselves to prayer, and come together again so that Satan will not tempt you because of your lack of self-control. Men and women, what if we took Ephesians 5:1-2 seriously regarding everything in life that is important? What if we applied Ephesians 5:21 in our marriages, parenting, place of employment, and in our churches? What if we looked at our spouse out of a motivation of Christ-like humility and love not out of selfishness, but a giving of oneself to the other and applied that humility and love to sandwich making, dirty dishes, diapers, to-do lists, walks, dates, and even the marriage bed? The top five reasons why marriages end in divorce are as follows: 1) Too much conflict, 2) a lack of commitment, 3) infidelity, 4) a lack of physical intimacy, and 5) communication problems. If we take Ephesians 5 seriously, I believe a Christ-centered humility from the wife and a Christ-compelled love from the husband will do five things for your marriage: Christ-centered humility and love will reduce the kind of pride that leads to conflict. Christ-centered humility and love open your eyes to the value of your spouse and marriage. Christ-centered humility and love will help prevent your eyes from wandering and compel you to fight against sexual sin. Christ-centered humility and love will free both the wife and the husband to give themselves sexually to the other for the good and pleasure of the other more frequently. Finally, Christ-centered humility and love will significantly reduce your communication problems because humility and love do wonders for marital hearing loss.

I heard a well-meaning pastor and theologian say by way of application from his reading of Ephesians 5:22-25 these words: Godly women want to feed their men. Godly women are designed to make the sandwiches. This is not an absolute law, like the one about making babies, and there are times when a man fends for himself and makes quite a decent sandwich. But in the general scheme of things, the apostle Paul wants the women to make the sandwiches.[1] My question to you, is that what Ephesians 5:22-25 is teaching? So, here is how I hope to answer that question. I hope to answer the above question by showing you how the willful subjecting of the wife to her husband and the sacrificial love of the husband for his wife is the apostle Pauls way of showing us what Ephesians 4:1-3 looks like in marriage; consider these verses in light of marriage: ...walk in a manner worthy of the calling with which you have been called, with all humility and gentleness, with patience, bearing with one another in love, being diligent to keep the unity of the Spirit in the bond of peace.

Non-monogamous queers, this one's for you! This week, Lorrae is joined by polyamory educator and queer advocate Leanne Yau, who discusses the intersection of polyamory, queerness, and neurodivergence through her social media project Poly Philia. Leanne and Lorrae don't shy away from tough topics in non-monogamy: cheating in polyamory (yes, it's possible), effectively communicating and setting boundaries within multiple relationships, balancing your autonomy and needs within the context of relationships, and much, much more!They share a laugh about the missteps in their first attempts at exploring polyamory, remind us that jealousy within any relationship is totally natural, and share some truly incredible wisdom about doing the inner work in order to be a good partner – in a conversation that even monogamous couples can learn from.The two coaches inspire us to take stock of not only our relationships with our partners, but of the most important one of all - the one with ourselves. ___Get my favorite vibrator, the Magic Wand Rechargeable and the Magic Wand Mini!

This weeks Patreon choice comes courtesy of Matt Bates aka, Black Country Vlogger. Matt shares a passion for Las Vegas with Chris and you'll have to listen to see whether they also share a passion for 1960's musical comedies. Checkout Matt on https://www.youtube.com/@BlackCountryVlogger A Funny Thing Happened on the Way to the Forum (1966) was a collaborative effort between director Richard Lester, screenwriter Melvin Frank, and a talented ensemble cast. Filming primarily took place on location in Madrid, Spain, providing the production with access to authentic Roman architecture and settings. This decision added to the film's visual authenticity and allowed the filmmakers to immerse audiences in the bustling streets of ancient Rome. The production also benefited from the participation of Broadway veterans like Zero Mostel, who reprised his Tony Award-winning role as the cunning slave Pseudolus, alongside a cast that included Phil Silvers, Buster Keaton, and Jack Gilford, all contributing their comedic talents to the ensemble. Despite facing challenges inherent in filming on location, such as coordinating logistics and navigating cultural differences, the production team successfully brought the lively and irreverent musical to life on the big screen. The film's elaborate sets, colorful costumes, and energetic choreography captured the essence of classical farce and delighted audiences with its witty humor and catchy musical numbers. A Funny Thing Happened on the Way to the Forum remains a beloved adaptation of the Broadway hit, cherished for its spirited performances and timeless comedic appeal.

TRUE LOVE'S MAGIC: - Effortless serving & sacrifice - Erases painful conflict - Excuses apathy and accountability - Encompasses total fulfillment - Euphoric sex & romance The myth of ‘true love' leads to this lie: I'm wrong for them or they're wrong for me What does ‘true love' look like in the real world? Loved by another Romantic attention Sexual satisfaction Just because something is “good” doesn't mean it erases the damage of misuse What does ‘true love' look like in the real world? Philia – deep friendship Storge – family love Eros – sexual passion Agape – selfless love (God's) Without “agape love” at the core we will selfishly misuse all other types of love For this is how God loved the world: He gave his one and only Son, so that everyone who believes in him will not perish but have eternal life. - John 3:16 Before the Passover celebration, Jesus knew that his hour had come to leave this world and return to his Father. He had loved his disciples during his ministry on earth, and now he loved them to the very end. - John 13:1 …So he got up from the table, took off his robe, wrapped a towel around his waist, and poured water into a basin. Then he began to wash the disciples' feet, drying them with the towel he had around him. - John 13:4-5 “My command is this: Love each other as I have loved you. Greater love has no one than this: to lay down one's life for one's friends.” - John 15:12-13 True LOVE requires the hard work of being selfless We can't give what we don't have Love doesn't dismiss different it embraces it Love is a decision ‘to do' despite our feelings Receiving God's true love in Jesus allows us to pass-on what we don't naturally have
Married? Want to be married some day? Wish you weren't married? In this message, Pastor Jamie Nunnally shares how marriage is "simple". Marriage is simple: love your spouse the way Christ loves you. Ephesians 5:31-23Your marriage is only as good as your maturity. The quickest way to improve your marriage is to improve yourself, not to try to improve your spouse.Two mindsets that hurt marriage - roommates and soulmates.Roommates: when a couple is sharing life, but not sharing love. Soulmates: when a couple is forcing passion and imposing perfection. The 4 C's of Marriage1. Commitment.Commitment is being dedicated and devoted, even if things aren't the way you wish they were.Matthew 19:3-6Marriage is meant to be a constant commitment, a declaration of devotion and a pledge of partnership that lasts for life. 2. Communication.Ephesians 4:29Think of words like bricks: you can build a home or break a window – it depends on how you use them.The Golden Rule of Communication: Say what you mean. Say it clearly and say it kindly. But always say what you mean. Differences in the communication style of men and women:1. Men tend to communicate for information, women communicate for connection.2. Men tend want to solve problems efficiently, women want to solve problems together.3. Men think in straight lines and store information in boxes, women think in webs and network stored information. In the end, your goal is not for your spouse to become like you, but for you to learn to love your spouse for who they are.Communicate about your communication. 3. Companionship. Ephesians 4:32 "Instead, be kind to each other, tenderhearted, forgiving one another, just as God through Christ has forgiven you."How to remain friends while married:1. Remove the pressure of performance and perfection. 2. Stop wounding each other with words. 3. Become problem solvers, not argument winners. 4. Remember to have fun together. 4. Christ's love.Jesus defined love for us:John 15:134 types of love – I'll give you the Greek word, a one-word English definition and a break up line for when this type of love is missing from a relationship.Eros – infatuation. "I love you, I'm just not IN love with you"Philia – friendship. "We just don't have anything in common"Agape –sacrifice. "It's not you, its me"Storge – family. "We've just grown apart"Paul described agape for us:1 Corinthians 13:4-7You can only give what you've got, and God is how you get agape. Questions:Married: Are you protecting the marriage God has given you?Not yet married: Are you preparing for the marriage God will give you?Not interested in marriage: Are you promoting Godly marriages?
Dreimal stürzt Jesus unter dem Kreuz. Dreimal versucht Pilatus, Jesus freizulassen. Und dreimal verleugnet Petrus den Herrn. Dreimal, eine Zahl, die sich in der Passion wiederholt. Ein Blick auf Petrus in der Zukunft zeigt, dass auch später diese Wiederholung von Bedeutung ist. Nach der Auferstehung, so erzählt es die Schrift, begegnet Jesus den Jüngern am See von Tiberias. Petrus, der mit seinen Freunden fischen gegangen ist, bemerkt am Ufer eine Person. Diese fordert sie auf, die Netze nochmals hinauszuwerfen. Und sie fangen so viele Fische, dass die Netze zu zerreißen drohen. Petrus spürt, dass es der Herr ist, der auferstanden ist. Und das letzte, was Petrus vor Jesu Tod getan hat, war, ihn feige zu verleugnen. In dieser Situation tritt der auferstandene Jesus dem Petrus gegenüber. Anstatt ihm Vorwürfe zu machen, stellt Jesus dem Petrus nur dreimal die Frage: ‚Liebst Du mich?‘ Petrus ringt um Worte und antwortet: ‚Ja, Herr, Du weißt, dass ich Dich liebe.‘ Ein Blick in den Urtext zeigt, dass er ein anderes Wort für Liebe verwendet als Jesus. Während Jesus von ‚Agape‘, der Liebe, die aus dem Herzen Gottes kommt, spricht, antwortet Petrus mit ‚Philia‘, der Bruder- oder Freundschaftsliebe. Und Jesus spricht: ‚Weide meine Schafe; weide meine Lämmer.‘ Mehr denn je zeigt dieses Gespräch, dass Jesus ihm vergeben hat. Und dass Kriterium aller Sendung und apostolischen Tätigkeit die Liebe zum Herrn ist. Aus Liebe zu den Menschen, zu Petrus und zu denen, die ihm die Nägel in die Hände schlagen werden, geht Jesus diesen Weg und stirbt am Kreuz! Lassen wir uns dem, der zum dritten Mal unter der Last des Kreuzes am Boden liegt, zum dritten Mal hingefallen ist, die Frage stellen: ‚Liebst du mich?‘ Beten und betrachten Sie gemeinsam mit Bischof Stefan Oster die neunte Station des Kreuzweges.

Last Sunday we looked at Romans 12:3-8. We read about having our minds renewed in Christ. This has a profound effect on who we are and what we do. A renewed mind manifests itself in loving those inside and outside the church. How exactly is this done? Paul tells us what Christian love is, and is not. This is necessary because in our day we use the word love to describe affections that are not all the same. For example, you might hear someone say they love ice cream and then a minute later they tell you they love their spouse. Are they really talking about the same kind of love? Depends on the flavor…fair enough. The ancient Greeks however, had four primary words to describe different types of love. Philia (close friendship), eros (romantic), storge (family) and more rarely, agape (Divine love used to describe God's affection for humanity). This love is unwavering, unconditional and authentic. "Let love be genuine." Romans 12:9 Of those four main Greek words for love, the one Paul uses above is agape. This is a persistent love that seeks to understand how one can be a blessing to another. It does not give up. The word genuine means to be sincere. In other words, don't fake it. It's like when you smile and thank the police officer for giving you a speeding ticket. Don't deceive yourself into thinking you're loving someone when in reality you are neglecting them. This is a call to honestly evaluate your heart and ask yourself the question, “Do I love without hypocrisy?” “Do I love only those who love me?” The question Paul is asking each of us is this: How do you know if your heart and mind have been renewed in Christ? The answer is found in who and how you love those in the church and those in the world.
Dive into the intricacies of love and morality with JAG and TLeake. In the spirit of February, the month synonymous with matters of the heart, we tackle Al Green's provocative statement: Love is something that can make you do wrong. Join us as we embark on a thought-provoking journey through Philia, Eros, Storge, and Agape—four distinct types of love. Through lively debate and insightful discourse, we delve into whether each form of love has the power to lead us astray or if it's our perception of love that shapes our moral compass.

Main Idea: Love can be incredibly simple in one instance and overly complex in the next. We are commanded by God's Word to love others to the best of our ability, and passages like 1 Corinthians 13 tell us that love is the greatest thing that we can ever aspire to. Yet, we as Christians often want to move onto more intelligent or spiritual sounding things. We check off love as we feel ready to move on while neglecting the many opportunities to actually show love to someone throughout our days. Today, we are going to tap into love by focusing on the interpretation of the Greek word: Philia. This word refers to love in regard to friendship or brother love. We are going to learn to understand the essence of this type of love and how it is an entry level form of love for us to evolve in. We're going to look at some practical ways in which we can show this type of love to others as Christians. And we're going to unpack whom we ought to be showing this kind of love towards. The reason that this topic is so important to talk about is because we often fail to recognize beautiful opportunities to love others even through basic friendliness. We have become so busy in our lives that we skip some of the foundational principles of our faith as we try to build castles of sand through our religion. Without love, we are wasting our efforts and time. (1 John 4:7-21) — 1. Brotherly Love [EVERY PERSON DESIRES TO BE LOVED] People typically give special allowances to their family members. We will move things around in order to make time for a family member who is in need, or we will even drop our plans for the day if there was a family emergency. While I'm not necessarily suggesting that we treat every stranger with that kind of importance, I am saying that we should take a small piece of that kind of love to share with other people. — 2. Really Love Them [LOVE IS AN ACTION AND A CHOICE] Love is so much more than a flutter of the heart. Love is not merely an ideology or even a lens of perspective of how to view people. Love is able to be clearly seen and felt through our actions. Whether it's as simple as giving up your seat for someone else or giving your last taco away to someone who is hungry, love is a tangible exchange that our souls can feel. (Romans 12:9-18) — 3. Who's My Neighbor [LOVE THOSE WHO CAN'T LOVE YOU BACK] Sometimes the notion of “love everybody” can come off too broad or overwhelming to where we end up not necessarily changing the way that we behave towards people. Rather than seeing each person as an opportunity to show love, we end up just trying to work on ourselves to become more patient or polite. While that is still positive to do, we must understand that a slight general increase of positivity isn't really the essence of love that we've been talking about. Rather than trying to love everybody, you should try starting by loving somebody.

Mike and Kenny discuss MAESTRO and faith reflected in the Bradley Cooper directed film about the life and career of composer / conductor Leonard Bernstein and his marriage to Felicia Montealegre. Cooper also co-wrote the screenplay and co-stars with Carey Mulligan in the film now streaming on Netflix. The film also stars Maya Hawke, Sarah Silverman, and Matt Bomer. Bradley Cooper, Martin Scorsese, Steven Spielberg and Todd Philips. Faith Spotted: Various types of love, Eros, Philia, Agape, and Philautia. While eros /passionate, philia / deep friendship, agape / selfless, are love strengthens and binds persons together. Philautia / love of self is important and ordained by Jesus in His great commandment, Matthew 22, Mark 12, Luke 10. Love and care for one's self is necessary for a person to offer the other types of love, but when it grows too strong and the drive for attention, praise and love from others becomes greater than the love one has for others (narcissism) it negatively impacts relationships and the lives of others.
Rev. TJ Thompson discusses a passage from Mark chapter 12, verses 28-34, which is also found in Matthew 22:34-40 and Luke 10:25-28. In this passage, a scribe asks Jesus about the greatest commandment. Jesus responds by emphasizing the importance of loving God with all one's heart, soul, mind, and strength, and loving one's neighbor as oneself. The scribe agrees with Jesus, acknowledging that these commandments are more important than any ritual or sacrifice. Jesus commends the scribe's wisdom and states that he is close to the kingdom of God. Rev. Thompson highlights the significance of God's love throughout the Bible, from the creation of Adam and Eve to the crucifixion and resurrection of Jesus. He emphasizes that God's message throughout the scriptures is "I Love You." The sermon also touches on the different types of love as described by the Greeks: Agape (selfless love), Eros (selfish love), Storge (family love), and Philia (brotherly love). The sermon challenges listeners to reflect on their own understanding and acceptance of God's love. It asks whether individuals truly love themselves and how they can love their neighbors. Rev. Thompson uses anecdotes and stories to illustrate the importance of self-love, self-respect, and the support of others in building one's confidence and faith in God. Rev. Thompson emphasizes the transformative power of God's love and the importance of recognizing and accepting this love in one's life. He encourages listeners to reflect on their relationship with God and to strive to love both themselves and others unconditionally. www.venicepres.org
Joe Biden is going to bed. Hawaii is still a mess#NFL is back Packers are back. and peloton sucks.
When a thought knocks politely on the door of my mind, I open the door and entertain the thought. But when an unseen thought shines into my mind through a skylight, I am always startled by the mystery of how words-not-my-own came to echo in my empty skull.“What, then, is Love?”Those four words, like the feet of a proud, white goat, prance in the snowy landscape of my mind.“What, then, is Love?”Unable to escape the music of those words, I will do my best to answer their question:“What, then, is Love?”Low-voltage love is a noun. It is something you feel. It surrounds you and you are “in” it.High-voltage love is a verb. It is something you do.E. W. Howe was 5 years old when Teddy Roosevelt was born, and he was 10 when the American Civil War began. E. W. Howe died 85 years ago. But while he lived, he said,“When a friend is in trouble, don't annoy him by asking if there is anything you can do. Think up something appropriate and do it.”In those 25 words, we see love as a verb; love with its sleeves rolled up.Love as a noun comes and goes but love as a verb comes to stay. “For better, for worse, for richer, for poorer, in sickness and in health…”Alexander the Great died 323 years before Jesus was born. Alexander loved adventure and battle. He felt it, was surrounded by it, and was “in” it. Jesus loved people. He fed them, healed them, encouraged them, and died for them. Verb, verb, verb, verb.Alexander and Jesus both died at the age of 32.During the 12 years that Alexander was conquering and ruling the world, his soldiers taught every nation a simplified form of Greek so that everyone could understand what Alexander was saying. This “Koine” Greek became the world's first international language.The entire New Testament – including all the stories of Jesus – were written in the “Koine” Greek of Alexander, a language with four different words for love, although only two of them were used in the New Testament. The two that do not appear are:Eros: sexual love.Storge: the love between members of a family.The two words for love that appear repeatedly in the New Testament are Philia and Agape.Philia: the love between close friends.Agape: sacrificial love; “I care about you more than I care about me.”The Harvard Grant Study is the world's longest running and most comprehensive psychological study, and it talks about love. The study says the happiest people are those who have chosen to do 5 things.(5.) suppress unproductive and distressing thoughts,(4.) maintain a realistic view of the future and its difficulties,(3.) turn frustration and anger into productive energy,(2.) make light of stressful events,(1.) focus on the wellbeing of others.The world's longest running and most comprehensive psychological study says the secret of happiness is to see love as a verb, something you do: focus on the wellbeing of others.Albert Schweitzer was a polymath. He was a physician, philosopher, musicologist, theologian, humanitarian, and a writer. He received the Nobel Peace Prize in 1952.On September 4, 1965 – the day Albert Schweitzer died – the song “Help!” by the Beatles, went to #1 on the charts. Do you remember the lyrics?When I was younger, so much younger than today,I never needed anybody's help in any way.But now these days are gone, I'm not so self assured,Now I find I've changed my mind and opened up the doors.Help me if you can, I'm feeling down.And I do appreciate you being 'round.Help me get my feet back on the ground.Won't you please, please help me?Albert Schweitzer spoke of love and happiness in much the same way the Harvard Grant Study spoke of love and...
No guest this week. Instead Aaron T makes the case for why he believes so many butch lesbians become gay transmen after taking testosterone. This is a phenomena widely observed within FtM communities, but neither the people experiencing this sexuality change, nor the clinicians prescribing the hormones, seem to understand why it is happening. A lot of sexological terms are thrown around in this episode and not defined. Here are some terms that might be useful to know: "Allo" means other, or external. "Auto" means self, or internal. "Gyno" means female. "Andro" means male. "Philia" means love (or, less euphemistically, sexual attraction). "Meta" means self-referential The vast majority of people are, in sexologic terms, alloheterosexual. A typical heterosexual male is technically "allogynephilic". But a male who is attracted to the thought or image of himself as female is "autogynephilic", while a female who is attracted to herself as male is "autoandrophilic". Both can collectively be referred to as "autoheterosexual". The final term above, meta, is used in this context to describe the type of external sexual behaviors of autoheterosexuals, who often experience (and act upon) homosexual desires as a means of validating their self-perception as the opposite sex. For example, an autogynephilic male is not attracted to other males (not alloandrophilic), but sexual behavior with males serves as a validation of the self as female. That is metaandrophilia. Aaron T mentions a recent episode of the 'A Special Place in Hell' podcast: https://youtu.be/PoJnbL9QMq8
