Book Review - The 5 Love Languages (The Secret to Love that Lasts)

The 5 Love Languages, The Secret to Love that Lasts (Gary Chapman)

Simple Ideas, Lasting Love. Between busy schedules and long days, expressing love can fall by the wayside. We forget to compliment, to give gifts "just because," to linger in our embrace. The things that say "I love you" seem to either not get said or not get through. This is a book about saying it and hearing it clearly. No gimmicks. No psychoanalyzing. Just learning to express love in your spouse's language.

Text: Rev 2:1-8, Mat 24:4-8

• As we look around today even our church has some things to clean.
• Rev 2 & 3-7 Churches
• Strings (strong) labor, patients, reproduced.
• Struggles-left the love for God.

Our strength & struggles

I. The strengths of our church

• Balance-aged balance, cultural balance, spiritual balance.
• Biblical-preach it, teach it, live it. Acts 17:11, Isa 28:10
• Benevolent-attention, love, giving

II. The Struggles of our church-Rom 14:16

• Not conscious of the time, if not 15 minutes early you are late. Church attendance.
• Not consistent and reliable, Pro 28:20, 25:19.
• Not fully committed to the church, Heb 10:25 (local assembly did not matter where)
• Excuse: work, fatigued (tired), OT (seeking), vacation (trust in God he will provide)
