This week Trent continued our series on love by discussing 1 Corinthians 13. In this chapter Paul defines what love is and tells the Corinthians how to best show love to others. First Paul establishes that love is far more important than just about anything else that we can do. It is greater than speaking in all the tongues of men and of angels and greater than faith that can move mountains. Of course these things are great, but without love there is no purpose in having them. Then Trent talked about how there are sixteen different things that Paul uses to describe love. There are eight things that Paul says love is and eight things that Paul says that love is not. Trent challenged us to think of a person that we love, such as our mother, and try to work on not doing one of the things that love is not and on doing one of the things that love is. If you cannot remember what you chose to work on reread 1 Corinthians 13:4-7 to remember what are the different aspects of love. Perhaps this week you will try to avoid being resentful (keeping a record of wrongs), and try to rejoice more with truth (which includes being more honest). Maybe you chose to work on some other aspects of love, but try and remember to do them this week.
