You have made us for yourself, O Lord, and our heart is restless until it rests in you.”
Augustine
My weight is my love; wherever I am carried, my love is carrying me.”
Augustine
Big Idea: Our lives follow our loves.
The person who lives a just and holy life is one who is a sound judge of these things. He is also a person who has ordered his love, so that he does not love what it is wrong to love, or fail to love what should be loved, or love too much what should be loved less (or love too little what should be loved more), or love two things equally if one of them should be loved either less or more than the other, or love things either more or less if they should be loved equally.”
Augustine
Matthew 22:37-40
Matthew 6:19-21
Heart Currencies:

Big Idea: Our lives follow our loves.
It is seldom that any of our bad habits or flaws disappear by a mere process of natural extinction at least it is very seldom that this is done by the instrumentality of reasoning, or by the force of mental determination, but what cannot be destroyed may be dispossessed, and one taste may be made to give way to another and to lose its power entirely as the reigning affection of the mind.”
Thomas Chalmers
But there is not one of these transformations in which the heart is left without an object. The heart’s desire for an ultimate object may be conquered, but it’s desire to have SOME object is unconquerable. The only way to dispossess the heart of an old affection is through the expulsive power of a new one.”
Thomas Chalmers
The love of God, and the love of the world, are two affections, not merely in a state of rivalship, but in a state of enmity.”
Thomas Chalmers
If you want to build a ship, don’t drum up people to collect wood and don’t assign them tasks and work, but rather teach them to long for the endless immensity of the sea.”
Antoine de Saint-Exupéry
1 John 4:19
Ephesians 5:15-17
Matthew 22:37-39
Big Idea: Our lives follow our loves.
“The Explusive Power of a New Affection” by Thomas Chalmers
Jesus, I recognize that I am a sinner in need of Your forgiveness. I believe that You died on the cross for my sins and rose from the dead. I turn from my sins and place my trust in You as my Lord and Savior. Please receive me now. I pray this in Jesus’ name, Amen.
Jesus, save the lost and guide the saved.
