Are you tired of trying to find love? Or maybe just trying to keep love alive in a relationship? Could it be that you are missing a key ingredient in your life? Chip simplifies the secret to finding, keeping, and giving away love like never before.

Affirmation from SUCCESS
Adulation from FAME
Temporary intimacy from illicit SEX
Attention from APPEARANCE or POSSESSIONS
Esteem from POSITION
Security from WEALTH

The Source of Love:

God is the source of love. (1 John 4:7-8)
God deposits His love in His follower’s hearts through His Spirit. (1 John 4:13-15)
When we are filled (controlled) by the Holy Spirit, the outcome/overflow is fruit. (Galatians 5:22)

How do we get it?

God designed love to be birthed and modeled in our FAMILIES. (Ephesians 5:18-6:4)
We often experience love most DEEPLY when we need it most DESPERATELY. (Romans 5:3-5)
