MM – Love…

June 24, 2007 by Mere Agency Support

For today’s Marriage Monday, I wanted to communicate a quick word on love. This word is so often thrown around in our culture. What I have found in marriage is that love is something I am continually growing and developing in. Love is best exemplified in the example of our Lord.

It was costly. It meant dying to self. This is true in marriage as well. We have to be willing to part with the selfish tendencies that raise themselves in marriage.

Yeah, that's right. My one, consuming passion is Jesus Christ, my Lord. I'm totally gripped by one message: the Gospel - the good news that God came after me when I was far from Him. So, the life I live, I live by faith in Him: He loved me and gave Himself for me.

From One Degree To Another is the change that He's accomplishing in me by grace. Growing downward in humility, upward into Him, outward toward others, and inward with renewal characterize my existence.

This site is where I flesh all of these types of things out, including my life as a slave to Jesus, husband, father, coffee-enjoyer, and pastor. I hope it encourages you.
