Morning, Amy.

Good morning.

We're going to start with a question from Eric today.

All right.

Hi there, Greg and Amy.

So, my former professor and mentor at my alma mater, Covenant College, said that the most

pressing question his students are asking right now is, how do we love those who hate us?

Do you believe the tactics approach helps us answer this

question, and if so, in what ways? Well, what's curious about this from a tactical perspective

is that it's a question. So the question is being asked about Christian life. I'm not sure

what question we would ask in return, you know, except for maybe our understanding

the definition of love, but this is a different set of circumstances than like a tactical,

a circumstance that requires a tactical approach, because this is a question about the nature of Christian behavior, Christian living, and how

do we accomplish this most effectively.

So I guess the only question that I would ask is, what do you mean by love?

So there are two options here.

And the first option is love is, and it's the way that we use the language. So I'm not inventing this. This is just standard. When we say we love someone, we are off or

I'm just pausing because I'm just wondering if there's a third variation.

But when we say we love someone or something, we are saying we are having an emotional response

or an attitude of favor regarding that.
