How are we doing, church? Doing good?

All right. If you got your Bibles and I hope you do, grab them. We're going to be in Song of Solomon chapter 7.

That couple is Curtis and Sean Osmond. And if you know them all, they're both deacons now.

And Curtis outpunted his coverage, something fierce, all right, which is the case for most of us.

Happy Father's Day. All the dads in the house. Hey, happy Father's Day. Yay. That's

pretty much what you get. Sputtering applause, okay?

Wise, if you didn't get your husband something for Father's Day, just apply today's sermon.

It'll be better than a grill. You'll see what I mean as we dig in. And then this is going to be PG-13 plus, plus, plus. So if you're a kid in here,

if you're not in middle school yet, run for the door, new-gen doors. You go through right over there,

they'll check you in. Or if you're in the sanctuary, you go straight out the back. They'll check

you in. There'll be parts of it that I will be uncomfortable in. Because we are talking about, we're talking about maturing in our love, because the truth is that falling in love is so easy.

I don't even really like the terminology. It's like an accident, like, oops, I fell in love,

and now it's all over me, and maybe if I get it off of me, I can fall in love with somebody else.

That's kind of how our culture does it. But falling in love is easy. I heartbeat and two eyeballs, and you can pretty much fall in love. Some of you

love people you have never even seen. You just like their way they sound on the radio and you love

them. Some of you fall in love with the person on your row by the time this service is over, okay?

And in fact, in our culture, it's easy to fall in love. There's 1,500 organizations right now in

America that exist to take your money and match you up in somebody so

that you can fall in love. So falling in love, it's easy, but loving one another, like the Bible

says, love one another over a lifetime, man, that takes a lot of work, doesn't it? It takes a lot of

work. And so kind of the cultural norm is what J.C. talked about, not Jesus Christ, but Johnny Cash.

We got married in a fever, hotter than a pepper sprout. We've been talking about Jackson ever
