Welcome to this weekend's in touch podcast with Charles Stanley.

Would we think incorrectly, we respond incorrectly.

Today's podcast wraps up the Liberated to Love series, helping us to bring our attitudes in line

with the truth of God's word.

One of the tragedies of broken relationships is that oftentimes people will look in the wrong places to find the cause of a

solution. Well that's what I want to talk about in this message entitled

Love's Hidden Enemy.

And I want you to turn, if you will, to 1st Corinthians,

chapter 13.

And you'll recall that this is the chapter

that Paul sandwiched between a message about spiritual gifts and a message about tongues, and he describes

for us in this passage of the 13th chapter, 1st Corinthians, what love is all about. Then beginning in verse 4, he talks about what

love does, how it acts. He talks about the power of love to make it possible for a person to wait

and to be kind and all the things that he describes here.

Then he comes down to verse 11 and he says something very interesting.

He says, when I was a child, I used to speak as a child, think as a child, reason as a child,

but when I became a man, I did away with childish things.

Paul said when I grew up, those things that were childish

that fit my childhood and didn't fit my adulthood,

he said, I put those things away. Now when Paul said I did away with

childish things in that phrase I believe the apostle Paul has given to us the hidden

enemy of loving relationships.
