Let's talk about love and what it means to our lives. Amid chaos LOVE is the only thing that we can count on. And most importantly we have to learn and practice daily loving ourselves.

It is difficult to give to others what we do not have ... or do not understand that we have within our possession. This is true when it comes to the love of God. Even many believers in Christ have doubts about God's love for them. The Bible defines or identifies God as One who *is* love. The world is filled with people who want to know what love is through personal experience. It begins with God. Love can be considered the most powerful dynamic as it relates to God and His creation. Comprehending the love of Christ surpasses knowledge but brings strength to our inner being by His Spirit. Knowing this love is a revolutionary game-changer, not only inwardly, but in our response towards others—including the good, the bad, and everything in between. --Available on Amazon - "Clash of The Covenants: Escaping Religious Bondage Through the Grace Guarantee" https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0713ZSKY7

1 Corinthians 13 4 Love is patient, love is kind. It does not envy, it does not boast, it is not proud. 5 It does not dishonor others, it is not self-seeking, it is not easily angered, it keeps no record of wrongs. 6 Love does not delight in evil but rejoices with the truth. 7 It always protects, always trusts, always hopes, always perseveres.8 Love never fails... Revelation 2:4  But I have this against you, that you have left your first love.To be loved feels good, but real love is so much more than a feeling. Real love is a choice. Real love is action. Real love is a decision that leads to an action following an emotion.Love comes from the underlying emotions we feel for another human being. The very idea of falling in love implies an accident or a mistakeThe actual truth about love is rather than falling in love, we should actually grow in love, in fact, people fall out of love because they do not grow in love! That is true with people and it's also true in respect to our love of God.Thanks for joining is to listen to this week's message, we believe you will be blessed! Support the showGrowing our inner man as we connect with God's Word

On this week's show, Dan Kois (author of Vintage Contemporaries and the upcoming Hampton Heights) and Laura Miller (Slate's books and culture columnist and author of The Magician's Book) fill in for Julia and Dana. The panel is first joined by Carl Wilson, Slate's music critic and the author of Let's Talk About Love, to parse through I Am: Celine Dion, a new documentary on Prime Video. Directed by Oscar-nominated director Irene Taylor, I Am: Celine Dion chronicles the French Canadian singer's private battle with Stiff Person Syndrome, an illness that has stripped away Dion's ability to sing – and with it, her identity. Then, the three explore A Family Affair, Netflix's wish fulfillment rom-com for middle-aged women starring Zac Efron, Joey King, and Nicole Kidman (plus a whole lot of Plasticine.) Finally, they dive into the world of aesthetics, inspired by Erin Schwartz's essay for The Cut, “In Defense of Calling Everything an Aesthetic.”  In the exclusive Slate Plus segment, the panel looks into “The Vexing Problem of the ‘Medium Friend'” by Lisa Miller for The New York Times.  Email us at culturefest@slate.com.  Endorsements: Dan: All Fours by Miranda July.  Laura: The Ministry of Time by Kaliane Bradley.  Stephen: “Art and Memory” by Julian Barnes for London Review of Books.  Podcast production by Jared Downing.
