1 Corinthians 13:4
Who here has ever heard of fomo? I have to tell you that before this week, I'd never heard of fomo. BTW, neither have more than ½ the people I've surveyed this week. Anyhow... Fomo is the fear of missing out. It refers to having an apprehension that b/c you're out of the loop/uninformed, or worst of all, on the outside looking in, that you're being left out while someone else gets what you could've gotten. It's a sickness that often consumes us w/ discontentment.
Fomo was diagnosed in 1996 by Dan Herman, but it wasn't until the rage of the digital age that it took off w/ internet, cell phones, and social media. That's when we began to see the effects of this disease. I call it a disease b/c fomo negatively impacts lives. Recent studies show it's a leading cause of dissatisfaction having a detrimental effect on our physical/mental health as we show signs of extreme mood swings, loneliness, anxiety, reduced self-esteem, and increased pessimism/depression. Fomo directly impacts our sense of contentment causing us to be envious/jealous of others. It fosters an inability to be satisfied w/ where we are in life and of the blessings of others.
Funny - I'd had to laugh this week when I realized I was MO of FOMO - I was missing out on the fear of missing out.
If you're just joining us, we're in a series entitled, Love Revolution - looking at the kind of love Paul speaks of in 1 Corinthians 13 that God puts in us thru the H.S. so that He can love others the way He loves us.
agape love refers to a self-sacrificing or God-inspired love - and this is the kind of love God gave to us thru Christ and He expects us to give to others in Christ.
In 1 Corinthians 13:4, Paul explains what agape love looks like when put into motion. Today, we're going to look at (2) phrases that speak to agape contentment - love does not envy and it is not self-seeking.
If I speak in the tongues ...
