Love and Intimacy / Then and Now - Rev. David Pileggi

The command to love God with a whole heart raises some questions: How can love be commanded? Can love be without emotion? When we understand this love as more than a theological concept, how is it expressed? Not surprisingly, in the Scriptures we find a common thread of thought and practice stretching from Deuteronomy to the Gospel of John and beyond: Love motivates obedience, leading to intimacy, and brings Joy – which leads to more love, obedience, intimacy and a Joy that overflows. Praise the Lord !!!
