Some form of the word love exists in scripture 543 times and is, conceivably, one of the most abused, excused, and misused words in modern lingo, today. I love your style. I just loved that show. I love the way you fix your hair! I love ice cream. Oh, I love what youve done with this room! I love you in that dress. I love it when you make me laugh. I LOVE YOU ... unless I get hurt ... just dont ask me to help ... only when my needs come first ... though, not if it means listening to you ... barring when I can take credit ... when its convenient ... if you love me ... as long as you do what I say ... but not your children ... unless you get in my way ... until I think of some good jokes at your expense ... except you put on a few pounds ... omitting when friends are around ... whenever it benefits me. Lets make love. If you love me, youll do it. Never mind that Im sleeping with someone else, its you I love. Youre just stupid. You know I love you. I love you, but I wont forgive you. Im sorry for hurting you, again, but you know I love you. I told you once that I love you. That ought to be enough. What do I have to say to make you believe me? I (bleep, bleep) love you, all right? If I say I love you, then I love you. I can see others and still love you. When you measure up to my expectations, then, Ill love you. Some speak most eloquent words of love. Fewer show it in their lives. But, whatever they speak, actions speak even louder. Surely, God must prefer to disassociate from situations wherein people misuse words that describe His character. And, wherever He isnt, it isnt love. It is impossible to love until we (know God and) begin to love others as He loves us, because God is love and its His Spirit that loves through us (1 John 4:8, 12b-13).

  • DO YOU REALLY NEED TO INTERVIEW PROSPECTIVE ROOMMATES?
    • Whether you have known your prospective roommate since kindergarten, or whether you just met, it is important to set aside some time for an in-depth conversation to discuss your expectations. You should meet in person, perhaps over a cup of coffee. Campus is a great neutral ground. A telephone call

  • Holy Mantrimony
