| 0:00.0 | So here's something you won't hear very often. God is love, but love is not God. |
| 0:06.0 | What? What? Yeah, in our culture nowadays, we tend to treat love as if it is God. Now, that's not |
| 0:12.4 | biblical. God is love, meaning that love is an aspect of God's character, but love itself is not God. |
| 0:20.1 | Right, and I think we do that because we elevate these feelings of love into the definition |
| 0:25.2 | of love, and so if I don't feel it, then it must not be, which therefore, whatever I feel |
| 0:30.5 | is what I bow down to or I make others bow down to. |
| 0:35.4 | Right, well, it's like the old adage. |
| 0:36.9 | Yeah. The old adage is all is fair |
| 0:39.2 | in love and war. Well, no, not biblically speaking, not all is fair in love and war. Yeah. God |
| 0:45.7 | determines what is just and fair and true. And yes, love is an aspect of his character, but no, |
| 0:52.4 | not every desire that we have needs to fall at the altar of love. |
| 0:56.7 | In other words, any loving quote-unquote desire that we have doesn't rule over us. |
| 1:00.9 | Instead, we submit our definition of love unto God, right? |
| 1:06.3 | And he determines what love is. |
| 1:08.2 | So, thanks for joining us. |
| 1:09.4 | We'll see you on the other side. |
| 1:25.5 | All right, I think this is an appropriate topic because this is the first video that we are posting since kind of our revamp of our YouTube channel. |
| 1:46.1 | All right, it's a podcast episode. So if you're listening, you're wondering what is going on? Yeah, it's still a podcast episode. But we're recording these videos and we're posting them on our brand new or at least revamped YouTube page. That's what they're called. And it's going to be called the Fierce Family. It's awesome. So it's the Fierce family. It's going to be our YouTube presence. We're going to have parenting stuff, marriage stuff there. |
| 2:03.9 | We're going to do maybe man talks. I'm going to get on and talk to guys, just one-on-one. You're going to talk to the ladies as the Lord leads. We might post some random, like, bread recipes because that's something that I love doing as a family. So anything that has to do with what does it mean to live out the full implications of scripture as a family? |
| 2:04.2 | Yeah. |
| 2:18.7 | Namely as a family. So anything that has to do with what does it mean to live out the full implications of scripture as a family? Yeah. Namely as a married couple, as parents, and then whatever else. So we're just going to have that all kind of out in the open via YouTube, including our full-length podcast episodes and probably some chopped up versions as well. Yeah. So now you get to see us and watch us, and we actually have to get dressed when we record these podcasts episodes, now that we're undressed. |
| 2:22.3 | Well, who's to say whether or not we have pants on? |
