Today is Valentine's Day. So we're talking about love. In particular, we are talking about two

distortions of love. The first is the way that modern Valentine's Day pushes an effeminate and

perverse view of romance. The second is the sacrilegious depiction of Jesus' love that we saw

during the Super Bowl. False views of love are connected

because they ultimately come from a false view of God, who is love. Both of these distortions

require the same response. Strong men must exercise godly patriarchal love and put to death the effeminate, perverse, and idolatrous

impostors.

All right, I've got a couple of announcements real quick before we get started, but welcome

back to the show. We took the last two weeks off. Last week I was traveling. It was actually

in Ogden, Utah, visiting some of the refuge guys and taking my wife and children on a much-desired

snow trip. My girls have been praying for snow for a little bit over a year now. I mean,

it's mid-July, and we're in family worship, and they are all three praying for snow. We're

trying to teach them as they pray to thank God, start with prayers of Thanksgiving and praise,

and then ask God petitions. And the petition is always

snow. Which means...

Ending with, if I will be done on that one. Yeah, yeah. We're trying to teach him to throw in some

Lord willing caveats per the book of James. But yeah, they've been praying for snow, so we

got to do that, got to sled. That was a lot of fun. And then the week before, we actually, we ran the live stream, but it wasn't with Michael

and Wesley.

We did it with Brian Sauvay and Ben Garrett were in town.

We were working on a project, which we're really excited about.

You guys have probably heard this announcement.
