"I want you, you, this is your responsibility, okay, is the way the song is written. I want you to show me what love is, I want to feel what love is, it's your responsibility to make me feel, not only show me what love is, but make me feel what love is, and I know you can do it. I know you can show me. So if you're not doing it, it's because you don't want to." [00:46:16] (22 seconds)
"i don't know if you ever thought about it or not but one of the most frustrating things about being human is is i can't i can't get you to ever understand and feel what i feel uh we all attempt this we we talk to one another and we try to express our feelings because we so desperately want to be known from the inside but nobody can get inside you nobody can get inside me and feel what it feels like to be you but that's what you want and that's what i want i want somebody that that knows what it feels like to be me on any given day somebody that's omniscient" [00:51:48] (32 seconds)
"it says for in Christ network crisis means Messiah the Christ Messiah the anointed one for in Christ lives all the the what does it say the fullness of God what does it mean by fullness it's saying that everything that there is that can be understood that can be fathomed about God it's existent it's revealed in Christ all the fullness of God lives in a human body in Christ you hear people say things sometimes like well God is vast and nobody no human can know him his ways are higher than our ways and his thoughts than our thoughts and so forth well that's true but if he chooses to make himself known again an adult is higher in thoughts and ways than a small child but that adult if they choose can make themselves known to the child our God has chosen to completely reveal himself and he gave us this revelation in the person of Jesus of Nazareth" [00:55:14] (57 seconds)
"Jesus, the God, the creator, the sustainer of the universe, he feels intense affection and love for you and I every day of our life, every season of our life, when we're at our best, when we're at our worst, everything in between. And when we can start to internalize that, take that from our head, we first have to know it, get it in our head, and then get it down in here, it starts to have dynamic effect on the way that we live." [01:01:46] (25 seconds)
"Matthew 9 shows the practicality of God's love. This someone, this unfailing love that we're looking for, it is a someone. It is Christ. It is our creator. He's our sustainer. It says, when he saw the crowds, he felt how sorry for them. Other versions say he felt compassion for them. Why? They were troubled and helpless, like sheep without a shepherd." [01:03:30] (22 seconds)
"This is what it means to be a Christian. The Bible teaches that when we choose to put our trust in Christ and become his follower, he gives us the free gift of everlasting life. Not only that, he forgives us all of our sins, we become God's children, his family, his body, his bride for time and eternity. He cherishes us. He's with us. He'll never leave us and never forsake us." [01:04:27] (25 seconds)
"When we receive the vast love needs that we have, directly from Christ, our Creator, that's the meal, we're full, we're happily full. And now, listen carefully, now whatever imperfect, brief fragments of love that we receive from human beings, they're dessert. We don't need them, but we do appreciate them, and we do like them. They're still beautiful. They're still, frankly, euphoric." [01:14:24] (34 seconds)
"Galatians says this, kind of the same frame of mind, you were called to freedom, brothers and sisters, only don't let this freedom be an opportunity to indulge your selfish impulses but serve each other through love. So it's not as though we aren't supposed to try to serve one another and help each other feel loved. We are, but we're not going to do it perfectly. And that's where we've got to have ourselves filled with God's love because that's the trustworthy, unending source of love that we really want, the unfailing love." [01:24:16] (32 seconds)
"Christ's love can expand, illuminate our understanding of life, freeing us from obsessively pursuing whatever imperfect, brief fragments of euphoria that are available. This is what the base of this series meant. We're very susceptible to chase whatever will give us just a little bit of mood alteration and euphoria, and this is often a dangerous thing. Secondly, understanding of ourselves, stabilizing us from being unnecessarily vulnerable, vulnerable and susceptible to being too expectant and dependent on others." [01:25:55] (36 seconds)
