My wife Chelsea returns to co-host with me for this Valentines Day episode.
What is love?
Dictionaries describe it as a “feeling,” “affection,” “passion,” or “desire.”
These are all well and good, but do they fully describe what love is?
The Bible has a lot to say about love that doesn’t quite fit these terms.
We see how the Bible defines love as
- Commanded
- Sacrificial
- Selfless
- Unconditional
The world often gets the cart before the horse. Feelings aren’t necessarily the source of commitment. Rather, commitment properly produces feelings.
