The Process of Love

On Jan 10 Danny shared a message called "The Process of Love" and incredible look at how we mature our relationships into love. This is the beginning transcript of that message followed by the audio message for free. Enjoy.

"Why should anyone get married? This is a real question facing this generation, because everyone we know blew up their life, their marriage and their relationships. Why buy the cow when you can get the milk for free? This is a real question for a people growing up in an internet age that are bouncing from relationship to relationship, where there is no sense of covenant and, there really are no great examples for a lot of folks to look at. This led to a conversation about a process of love, of growing and how you know if you are ready for marriage and covenant.

Gal 4
Paul is talking to a group of folks who are saved by love, grace and the Spirit who have been wooed back into the rules by the Jews who can't believe that the rituals and circumcision mean nothing. So there is a racial war going on. The Jews are trying to create the new-old testament. So Paul is trying to explain to the Gentiles who came into this relationship for free, that they can't keep what they got for free by obeying the law. So soon he is talking about how the law is a tutor, shaping God's people to an appointed time until faith has come.

1Now I say, as long as the heir is a child, he does not differ at all from a slave although he is owner of everything,
2but he is under guardians and managers until the date set by the father.
3So also we, while we were children, were held in bondage under the elemental things of the world.
4But when the fullness of the time came, God sent forth His Son, born of a woman, born under the Law,
5so that He might redeem those who were under the Law, that we might receive the adoption as sons.
6Because you are sons, God has sent forth the Spirit of His Son into our hearts, crying, "Abba! Father!"
7Therefore you are no longer a slave, but a son; and if a son, then an heir through God.

So there is a process by which we are groomed into a place of maturing and ultimately into a place of love."
