How many Bible translations do you have? Before you start reading this post or when you are completed, go and read all the Bible translations you have of 1 Corinthians 13. Yes, I will do it, too! :) Last night at youth group we talked about verse five-love isn't rude, it isn't self seeking, not angered, and keeps no record of wrongs.
First, love isn't a feeling-it's a verb, or an action. We do not have to have feelings to love others. Love is the the mark of a mature follower of Jesus! God tells us to love others as yourself but that doesn't mean thinking less or yourself. Love has good manners-isn't rude. Love looks out for others first. It put their needs and desires before yours. Love is not ever truly angered. Remember, these are beauitful people and God loves them and they are made in His image.
Love has a memory that stinks! It doesn't hold other people's wrongs against them but let's go and forgives.
Youth group times...
Matching shirts!

I like that chapter of scripture... too bad I don't practice it more often!!! Easy to talk about and agree with and say "yes, that's right" - not so easy to DO.
I like the Youth Group pictures! I also like the new background... a lot!! It seems very happy. :)

Yes, it is hard to put into practice. I said to Justin today that at first, loving or serving is easy, but after a while, it is not so easy and not so fun!
I am glad that you like the new background. I like it was well.
