Musings on Love

Posted on December 28, 2006 by Charles Churchill

What is love? It’s the question I’m asking you and myself. Is love a feeling? A committment? Is love an action? What scripture defines love, both explicitly and implicitly? My thoughts are that love is expressed through the proper fulfillment of responsibility. But I want to know what you think.

    Hey DrD,
    Thanks for stopping by. I definitely think those words are useful when describing types/applications of love, but part of what love is also involves time/place/and recipient and those words don’t necessarily address that aspect. What I mean by that is writing a thank you note might be a loving act, but if my son is bleeding to death while I do it who am I loving? (I would say that I’m loving no one, and I’m hating my son) Anyway, I’m getting a little ahead of myself, more on this later.

    Anyone else have thoughts?
