Great things happening and coming...

Attended the marriage conference yesterday, and it was a great time in the Lord. Today, the same key speaker will be delivering the message, Brad Hambrick, who is Executive Director at Crossroads Counseling. To give you a brief overview:
The title of conference: "Loving your Spouse with excellence"

1. Hour 1 we covered Perfect Love Casts out all Fear based on 1 John 4:18. During that hour, we talked about the different 'currencies' that cause fear, such as 'currency of pleasure, power, approval, & perfection vs. building an economy of grace and truth.
2. Hour 2 we discussed The Marks of Enduring Love based on 1 Cor. 13. The 5 'Marks' are Commitment and Care, Integrity and Realness, Other Mindedness, Mutual Respect and Honor, and Repentance and Forgiveness.
3. Hour 3 we talked about Love that Sparks... in a Good Way, which was the part about intimacy.

Brad done very well at relating in practical terms, as there were many nudges and 'looks' between couples during illustrations. He also pointed out that all 3 are related, such as how hour 3 can't be taken alone, but must be joined with hour 1 and 2 to be effective and real.
