We start a new series this week called, "I-Relationships." As I have studied the Bible it has dawned on me, once again, that the focus is not on mastering a bunch of self-help principles. There are plenty of principles in the Bible, but the focus is on our perspective.
I forget principles. I often do not have the will power to do them in the heat of relational battle. I find it much easier to focus on my perspective. For example, if I focus on being happy in my marriage, Kim and I both suffer. If I focus on blessing her everyone is happier. This is much more simple than trying to remember the 55 new ideas I picked up at the last marriage conference we went to.
The Bible teaches several simple and yet radical perspectives on relationships. These will be our focus the next few weeks as we study some of the most influential texts in the Bible.
If you are in Denver I hope you will join us.
