Truthing in love
Christianity is a lifestyle as well as something that happens at a point in time
Love, Light, Wisdom
Love -> Truth -> Wisdom
Not Truth -> Love -> Wisdom

Imitate the uniqueness of God’s love
Watching your parents
Christ’s sacrifice for us to God
Love that sacrifices and actually does something.
Love that knows what is ultimate and seeks to please Him
Does your reading of Scripture help you adore God more or burden you with things to do?
Your walk talks louder than your talk talks
Avoid the substitutes for God’s love
Sexual immorality - Amy’s experience in line - Love is being given the “best experience” no matter the rules.
Impurity - treating people as objects or lowering their true value to something like junk - Love and honesty doesn’t matter.
I do.
Covetousness - Love is getting what I want or having what everyone else has.
Transgender - everyone else feels comfortable so I must
Homosexuality - everyone else gets to express their lust so I must too
We shouldn’t do these things.
Nor should we joke about them because we have received grace and should be thankful for the love we have received.
Don’t be deceived about true love
A lot of voices saying different things
Wind in Boundary Waters
What deserves judgment more than lying about love truly is?
“But I haven’t experienced true love” - Yes, you can if you haven’t … in Jesus.
So walk in God’s love and imitate him when you have opportunity
And the quote from J. C. Ryle.
Thinking along these lines this week, I went to his book on Thoughts for Young Men.
And he talks about the fact that God is no respecter of persons and that God is not measuring us in relationship to the things that we’re tempted to use to measure ourselves: intellect, finance, status in society, and so on.
Ryle says to the young men who are his readers—he says, “You see, God is only measuring in relationship to our souls.”[25]
And he says, “Do not forget this.
Keep in view, morning, noon, and night, the interests of your soul.
Rise up each day desiring that it may prosper”—that is, your soul.
“That it may prosper,—lie down each evening inquiring of yourself whether it has really [got on].
Remember Zeuxis, the great painter of old.”
Never heard of him apart from here.
“Remember Zeuxis, the great painter of old.
When men asked him why he labored so intensely, and took such extreme pains with every picture, his simple answer was, ‘I paint for eternity.’”[26]
“I paint for eternity.”
Do not be ashamed to be like him.
Set your [immortal] soul before your mind’s eye, and when [people] ask you why you live as you do, answer them in his spirit, “I live for my soul.”
Believe me, the day is fast [coming] when the soul will be the one thing men will think of, and the only question of importance will be this, “Is my soul lost or [is my soul] saved?”[27]
