GRIT WITHOUT GRACE 

1 COR. 13:1 BUT  WITHOUT  LOVE  YOU  ARE  A CLANGING  CYMBAL. 

3. The Path Back: Remember, Repent, Repeat

Jesus doesn't just diagnose the problem; He provides a three-step recovery protocol in verse 5:

I.  REMEMBER

V. 5 Remember from the height you have fallen.

When Kim and I were first dating I would do the craziest things for her because I was madly in love.

Spent 1400 bucks on her for Christmas

Drove all night from Dallas to Madison to see her

And little things like leave here notes all over her house, car and work.

I Peter 1:9  But those who fail to develop these virtues are blind or, at least, very shortsighted. They have already forgotten that God has cleansed them from their old life of sin.

DO YOU REMEMBER WHEN YOU WERE IN LOVE HEAD OVER HEELS FOR JESUS?

What were you like?

What did you think about?

What were your spiritual disciplines?

Who were your friends?

What was your conversation like?
