I gave a talk in church a few months ago and I'm finally getting around to posting it to the blog. Enjoy!
Judging by what we see, hear, and read in popular culture, I think that “love” the most frequently used and most misunderstood word in the English language. We find it everywhere from books, to movies, to TV shows, to songs, to speeches, to anything else you can think of. People have been talking, writing, acting, singing, dancing, signing, nodding, smiling, and winking about love for millenia. And what it has produced is a confusing, confounding, and conflicting cacophony.
Love is a many splendored thing, love lifts us up where we belong, all you need is love. Love is blind, love is a battlefield, love is like the dew on a summer’s morn. Love conquers all, love will set you free, all’s fair in love and war. Can’t buy me love. Love means never having to say your sorry. It is better to have loved and lost than never to have loved at all.
