DAY 5 — LOVE IS NOT RUDE. [LOVE SHOWS RESPECT IN THE LITTLE THINGS] PROVERBS 27:14 KJV Love does not excuse rude behavior simply because we are comfortable with our spouse. Biblical love shows respect in our words, our tone, our habits, and our willingness to change anything that unnecessarily irritates or embarrasses the person we love. RESPECT IS LOVE MINDING ITS MANNERS. Rudeness says: "THIS IS JUST THE WAY I AM." Love says: "IF IT HURTS YOU, I'M WILLING TO WORK ON IT." Rudeness demands to be understood. LOVE SEEKS TO UNDERSTAND. Rudeness embarrasses. LOVE HONORS. Rudeness defends itself. LOVE LISTENS. One of the marks of a mature marriage is being willing to ask: "WHAT IS IT LIKE TO LIVE WITH ME?" And then having enough humility to listen to the answer.

DAY 4 — LOVE IS THOUGHTFUL. [LOVE THINKS BEFORE IT SPEAKS AND NOTICES BEFORE IT IS ASKED] PSALM 139:17–18 KJV Thoughtful love pays attention. It listens carefully, remembers what matters, considers the needs of the other person, and thinks before speaking or acting.THOUGHTFULNESS IS LOVE PAYING ATTENTION. Thoughtless love assumes. THOUGHTFUL LOVE NOTICES. Thoughtless love forgets. THOUGHTFUL LOVE REMEMBERS. Thoughtless love reacts. THOUGHTFUL LOVE THINKS FIRST. Thoughtless love waits to be asked. THOUGHTFUL LOVE TAKES INITIATIVE. One of the simplest ways to strengthen your marriage is to begin thinking intentionally about the person God has given you. Ask yourself today: "WHAT IS GOING ON IN MY SPOUSE'S HEART THAT I NEED TO NOTICE?" Because great marriages do not happen by accident. GREAT MARRIAGES COME FROM GREAT THINKING—FOLLOWED BY LOVING ACTION.

WATCH ON YOUTUBE - https://youtu.be/-OTI-SAWgmI The sermon argues for the enduring value of Latin as a foundation for intellectual rigor, cultural literacy, and theological understanding. It traces the historical decline of classical education in favor of practical skills, contrasting this shift with the deep influence of Latin on English vocabulary, law, and scientific terminology. The speaker highlights key Reformation principles expressed in Latin, such as Sola Scriptura and Simul Justus et Peccator, to emphasize the importance of doctrinal clarity. By citing Isaiah 4:6, the message warns that rejecting knowledge leads to spiritual destruction, urging believers to engage their minds through rigorous study. Ultimately, the sermon calls for a renewed commitment to learning and truth as essential tools for defending Christian liberty and heritage in a modern world.

The sermon explores John chapter 6, contrasting physical miracles like the feeding of the five thousand with the deeper spiritual reality of Jesus as the Bread of Life. It emphasizes that true nourishment comes not from seeking signs for personal gain but from believing in the One sent by God. The preacher encourages listeners to adopt a 'spiritual' perspective, urging them to feast on Scripture rather than relying on worldly understanding or fleshly desires. By focusing on faith and the eternal life offered through Christ, believers can endure hardships and remain steadfast even when teachings seem difficult. Ultimately, the message calls for a commitment to Jesus alone, recognizing Him as the source of everlasting sustenance and salvation.

The sermon examines Joseph's resistance to Potiphar's wife in Genesis 39 to illustrate the necessity of fleeing from sin while simultaneously running toward Christ. It contrasts Joseph's immediate avoidance and flight with the foolishness of lingering near temptation, as described in Proverbs 7. The message emphasizes that mere avoidance is insufficient without a deep commitment to God's law and presence. By drawing near to God, believers find true prosperity and purpose even amidst suffering, unlike the destructive path of the ungodly. Ultimately, the preacher urges the audience to prioritize running to the Savior rather than simply dodging sin.
