(LOVE/TILLMAN/1O9)

 1. Love is thinking good thoughts.

a. to the extent you think good thoughts about a person, place, or thing, to  that extent, you love.

b. to the extent you can generate trust, you love. 

c. to the extent you can keep a secret, you can be trusted.

d. to the extent you can touch, to that extent you love.  What you cannot  touch becomes a mystery, feared and/or hated.

2. Attitude determines altitude.

a. magnanimity determines latitude.

3. God exists only to those who acknowledge Him, yet His existence does not depend upon a belief.

4. No one likes to be made to feel foolish, especially in the presence of someone they love (sometimes, it is themselves).

a. love cannot exist in a vacuum , or in self defense.

5. A man can go no further up than the minute he decides to conceal truth. "Conceal-ness" is a mean word (or situation) that can destroy you mentally, physically and spiritually. It is a true forerunner of guilt.

6. One cannot tear down the establishment and expect it to support him when he falls down.

a. willingly accept authority from your parents, or Uncle Sam may force his.

b. maturity is measured by your ability to accept responsibility.

c. your identity is established by your association with the authority of your choice. .

d. if you refuse to be responsible to authority, authority cannot be responsible for you.

e. your authority began with your birth and is to be "taught of  the Lord." Your first word was "WOW! I am here!  Come! and start taking care for the new babe, me!"

7. You are responsible to the one from whom you receive the gift.

8. Do not call others what you would not call yourself or call yourself what you would not call others.

9.  Your word is your bond...

a. your word is the first impression of the inner man.

b. your word represents your name. You are marked by what you say and how you say it.

c.  an uncontrolled tongue impedes.

d. by God's Words you are accepted into His Thoughts and His House. Your thoughts (words) will determine your destiny;  Heaven or Hell.

10. As Jesus is responsible to the Father for the Church; and as the Church is responsible to Jesus as independence submitted, so likewise, the husband is responsible to Jesus through His Church for his wife, and she is responsible to her husband as independence having been submitted. This is not to be confused with submission or surrender of individuality. This analogy is the secret of a happy home where the children are taught of God.
