Title: The Art of Love

Psychologist Eric Fromm says in his book The Art of Love:
"You have to recognize that 'love is also a skill' just as life is a skill. I want to learn the art of love.
In many ways, the challenges we go through when we try to learn the art of music, art, architecture, or medicine or engineering
It's difficult if you don't go through the same process.
What are the steps you need to take to learn any skill?
The process of acquiring such a skill can be divided into two. The first is the self-actualization of the theory, the second is the practice.
It is the acquisition of cloth. If I am going to learn the art of music, first of all,
You need to know about various diseases. Even if I have mastered all of these theories, I am still

Eventually, my theoretical knowledge and practical skills will merge. Soon my intuition

There is a third factor. In other words, skill honing should be the ultimate and essential object of interest.

This morning I was waiting for a signal at the intersection to cross the road after I went to prayer at dawn.
Suddenly, a loudspeaker sounds from the car across the street.
'Believe in Jesus and go to heaven, those who do not believe in Jesus will go to Hell'
'Believe in Jesus and go to heaven, if you don't believe in Jesus you will be judged by hell'
When I heard the sound, I was so embarrassed that the man waiting for a signal looking at me from the other side of the road
I wanted to hide the Bible I was carrying while looking at people. People look at me with a strange look
look up 'You are the same person!' seems to be yelling at me.

Of course, we have a mission to preach the gospel. Evangelism is the 'Great Command' that the Lord has given us
to be. Even if we emphasize the gospel a hundred times, it is not enough for the saints to preach the gospel.
However, preaching the gospel is not just shouting out, but also conveying the character of the Lord.
Thus, as our Lord taught in the Lord's Prayer, 'God's will be done on earth as well.
It is to fulfill its mission.
Heaven does not necessarily refer only to paradise in the cosmic space of the sky, and transcends time and space.
According to the change of my heart (the indwelling of the Holy Spirit), it is also something that exists existentially every day.
So the Lord says:
'I am the vine and you are the branches; I will bear much fruit if you are in me and you remain in me!'
Therefore, for those who preach the gospel, actions are more important than words. A religious psychologist
'Change' is a very meaningful word.

A person wants to confess his love to the woman he loves on a street full of people
I scream out loud in the office, 'I can't live without you, I love you, really party
If you shout out, ‘I love God, please marry me.’
I'm going to say I have no teeth.
To confess your love, you must first create an atmosphere. First you have to get her to open her heart
And, quiet and caring, polite and nice, don't stop at once.
When I show my personality over and over again, that love will come to an end. Wouldn't this be a skill?
Preaching the gospel is a kind of soul-loving act. I don't love the body
Only when a person who loves the soul of the soul screams without such manners can a certain soul be moved and follow him
would you?
Actually, I'm not talking about the enthusiasts I've met today. we living today
Although not so extreme, Christians are living almost the same way.
They trembled at the thought of believing in Jesus, and they spread the fragrance of Jesus in this society
end? Fighting between the same denominations, dividing them, and tying all members of other religions into Satan and demons
We are condemning the natural environment and culture of beautiful mountains and streams that raised us as ghost culture.
is turning on the loudspeaker on a quiet morning road, shouting, 'If you don't believe in Jesus, you'll go to hell'
is there anything better than that person?
Love must have skill, and grace must have responsibility.
