"If I were God, I certainly wouldn't want people to love me sentimentally. It's too unreliable."
- taken from the story Teddy from J.D. Salinger's Nine Stories
when i read this quote i found that it expressed much of my discomfort within the church.
agreed. i think the greeks had it right, using four different words to define love. did you know that 'agape' was coined exclusively for the new testament? it has little to do with emotion - but has more to do with self-denial for the sake of another.
