We have one word for love, but Greek has multiple: agape, phileo, storge, and eros. What is the difference between agape and phileo love? What about eros and storge? Read or listen to this chapter from Your Marriage God’s Way to find out:

"What are a few things I love? I love my kids, eating popcorn, and teaching the Bible. Another man might say, “I love my wife, football, and working on my car.” For this man’s wife’s sake, let’s hope he loves his wife differently than he loves football and automobiles. For my kids’ sake, let’s hope I love them differently than I love eating popcorn.
Have you ever noticed that the English word love can be used in a wide variety of ways that fail to distinguish between different shades of meaning? Obviously, the love we have for things we enjoy is different than the love we experience in relationships. Even within our relationships, the kinds of love we experience will vary significantly. We love our parents differently than we love our spouse, and we love our children differently than we love our pastor, fellow church members, or coworkers."

Sunday's sermon turned into a blog post with audio and video:
https://www.scottlapierre.org/we-obey-what-we-fear/
Do you know what truly shapes our obedience? Our actions are governed by what we fear. Drawing from the timeless examples of Abraham, the Hebrew midwives, Pharaoh, Saul, and even the religious leaders, we learn that obedience to God flows from a genuine fear of Him—and not from our fear of man. Why? because we obey what we fear.

The Rev RX podcast interviewed me about Abraham and Isaac:
“What if one of the most dramatic stories in the Bible was actually a signpost pointing to something even greater? The story of Abraham and Isaac isn't just about faith- it's a powerful foreshadowing of God's ultimate love through Jesus.
In this episode, I sit down with Pastor and Author Scott LaPierre to explore the Biblical symbolism of Abraham and Isaac, uncovering how this event mirrors God's greatest act of love- the sacrifice of His Son on the cross.
If you've ever wondered how the Old Testament connects to Jesus or needed a fresh reminder of God's deep, sacrificial love for you - this episode is for you!”
