Consider the command to love one’s wife. That this could be commanded stands in direct opposition to the current worldly notion. We noted in the previous quote young people agreeing that “love is an addiction like any drug”. People are rarely so blunt but when examined it becomes clear that what most what people today call being in love is not something noble but being enslaved by one’s feelings. Multitudes in other cultures would consider this madness. They would see divorcing because one no longer feels love as ludicrous. They would regard engaging in adultery because one feels overwhelmingly strong lust/infatuation – and even having the audacity to call it love – as being as depraved as thinking one should steal or kill whenever one feels the compulsion. Our attitude toward love reveals whether we choose to act like God or like animals. The Lord of all wisdom sees love as a decision, not an emotion – a decision to be godly. This by no means implies that having emotions is ungodly but it means it is ungodly to let one’s emotions rule one’s life. God has emotions and created us to have emotions, but out-of-control emotions are foreign to his heart, whereas doing what is right when one’s emotions are tearing at oneself to do the opposite inspires all of heaven to applaud.
