Valentine's Dynamic Love
Feb. 13, 2009 - Charles Colson notes that modern romantic ideas about Valentines' Day has little to do with either the story of St. Valentine or of the Bible's supreme view of love. About Valentine, a 3rd-century priest, he writes,
- The Roman Emperor Claudius II personally interrogated him and tried to persuade him to convert to Roman paganism (or die). Valentine refused and tried to convert the emperor to Christianity instead, eventually dying a martyr's death.
Colson remarks that most prominent modern-day apologist have written at least one book about love. Some examples are C. S. Lewis, Francis Schaeffer, Norman Geisler, Ravi Zacharias, Art Lindsley, and Peter Kreeft. [One of Colson's own best-sellers was "Loving God".]
He says that Love is the true apologist's motive, and it is also the telos, or end goal. Since God is Love, understanding the true nature of love means helping people understand the true nature of God. In addition, the aim of real love is helping others know God.
