A month ago threw out some brief thoughts on the next message before the flock. Wasn't going to flesh it out completely, but things change in a few weeks. Want to make sure I don't forget the thoughts flowing through me.
Intro: Size of Hallmark company in millions (billions?) of dollars. Research annual amount spent by Americans on VDay. Research percentage who believe in true love, soulmates.
Point one: not shallow. Anecdote of war soldier corresponding with woman and meeting plans and old woman and beautiful woman across street. Lord loved Samaritans, lepers, disabled, others thought to be too low to love.
Point two: not temporal. Always & forever most cliched and untrue statement twixt those in love. Explain then divorce rate among Americans -- and among Christians which mirrors that of society, I'd guess. Lord goes to prepare an eternal home for you with Father.
Point three: not fairy tale, not world's idea. Charles and Di wedding held as ultimate fairy tale. Research numbers watched that. Fairy tale industry and chick flicks. Lord holds a different standard. Elder qualities. Head of house qualities.
Grand point still remains. Love is what Rom5:8 still makes clear.
