How does the world think about love? Cupid comes to mind. As popular culture states, he shoots people with his arrows and they fall in love. Society has also made it “normal” for people to fall out of love because supposedly love is an emotion over which we have no control. It’s as though people are walking along, they trip, and the next thing they know, they’ve developed feelings for someone.
The biggest problem with this incorrect understanding is that it completely contradicts the way Scripture presents love (agape). It’s not a feeling or emotion. Agape is a choice, an act of the will. We choose whether we do or don’t love. God can command us to show this kind of love because we do, in fact, have control over it.

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!”
