This Weeks Chapters: 1 Cor 13 - 2 Cor 1
Pastor Matt Beemer
1 Corinthians 13:8
"Love never fails…"
It’s called the Great Love Chapter, and if you regularly spend time meditating in I Corinthians 13 you will never fail in life! This great love chapter is the original recipe for success.
Joshua 1:8 tells us that if we continually meditate (think on, speak to oneself over and over, dwell upon) on the Laws of God that we will make our way prosperous and have good success. There is only one way in this life to guarantee that you will prosper and have good success and Joshua 1:8 tells us what to do, meditate on God’s Laws.
Under the Old Covenant the Children of Israel had the Ten Commandments, but there were hundreds of other laws that they needed to obey. In our new and better covenant – as New Testament Believers - we have only one law to live by! That is the Law of Love! In living the law of love, we fulfil all of God’s Laws (Romans 13).
So if you put Joshua 1:8 with I Corinthians 13, you’ll find that if you meditate in the New Testament Law of Love, you are guaranteed a successful life!
As I Corinthians 13:8 says, Love Never Fails!!!! So if you meditate in, and live by Divine Love – you cannot fail!
I challenge you this week to read verses 1-8 every day. If you can, read it in different versions of the Bible, and it will come to life in a new way every day.
Even better – write I Cor 13:4-8 on little cards and put it in various places in your home, car, workplace, or where ever you will regularly see it. This will help you to ‘meditate’ in the Law of Love…. and in meditating and living in the Law of love – you are creating a success filled life!

- Pastor Matt Thank you both for your excellent thoughts! Remember when we walk in love - we are destined for success no matter what comes our way. With all our love, Pastor Matt and Julie.
- Chris Cutliffe Why didn't you just call the article, "A Chris Cutliffe-Proof Life!"
It was read at my wedding, I read it at Uncle Joe's funeral and it contains words for every day living.
The greatest teaching that i have ever been taught was the "Love" teaching.(I still hear the voice of Pastor Julie saying to me "Its a Love thing").
If you live, breath,and walk in the 9 fruits, then you become more like Jesus and have the capacity and the mentality to deal with any situation - but do it with and in Love!
