To many people, marriage is just a piece of paper. Who needs a license to love? In this follow-up episode to PP173, we discuss why such thinking is wrong. Wedding vows and the marriage covenant are not obstacles to passionate love, but the fertile ground in which it can survive and thrive. And even if we’ve strayed from God’s design for romantic relationship, there’s still hope, because the ultimate source of enduring love is none other than Jesus Christ.

The Song of Songs depicts love in marriage as an unquenchable fire. But where can we find such love? Today’s relationship advice often leads to short-lived flames. We need an older wisdom to guide us. We need the ancient wisdom of Scripture. Already married and wanting to keep the fire blazing? Unmarried, but hoping to enjoy such lasting love some day? Our Bible passage gives us four surprising directions where to find the fire.

Podcast: Play in new window | Download (Duration: 15:32 — 28.4MB)

Attention is a rare commodity. When you spend yours on another person, it is a generous gift of love. But there is also an indirect way of loving people with our attentiveness. When we make spending time in the presence of our kind Saviour a priority, we become kinder ourselves to those around us. Learn how the Scriptures call us to make the grace of Christ our focus, not all the debates and controversies. What will you focus on for the sake of the world?

One of the most stunning events in the Lord’s earthly ministry was when He laid aside his outer garments, wrapped himself in a towel, and bent down to wash his disciples’ feet. Astounding humility. And he tells us that he did this as an example for us to follow. So what exactly does that look like for us today?
