Tomorrow in worship I'm going to be teaching on How To Leave A Legacy of Love. Here's my challenge, and if you attend FCBC and you do this today, you'll already have next week's homework done.
The challenge is to take 1 Corinthians 13 and replace the word love with your name. The passage is printed below.
Love is patient, love is kind. It does not envy, it does not boast, it is not proud. 5 It does not dishonor others, it is not self-seeking, it is not easily angered, it keeps no record of wrongs. Love does not delight in evil but rejoices with the truth. It always protects, always trusts, always hopes, always perseveres. Love never fails. But where there are prophecies, they will cease; where there are tongues, they will be stilled; where there is knowledge, it will pass away. For we know in part and we prophesy in part, but when completeness comes, what is in part disappears. When I was a child, I talked like a child, I thought like a child, I reasoned like a child. When I became a man, I put the ways of childhood behind me. For now we see only a reflection as in a mirror; then we shall see face to face. Now I know in part; then I shall know fully, even as I am fully known. And now these three remain: faith, hope and love. But the greatest of these is love.
Here's a couple of questions based on what we just did. When I put my name in that passage, does is that me? Does this describe my life? Is this love?
Be in worship tomorrow as we work this out together and figure our how we can leave a legacy of love.
