Love: The Language of the Presence of God
Love is the language of the presence of God; it is the very currency of eternity. But we need to understand love as defined and illustrated by Scripture rather than assume the sensuous and sentimental view of love that permeates culture. In this lecture, C.S. Lewis Institute Teaching Fellow Dr. Eric C. Redmond, draws principles and commands for us to love God and our neighbors, and he challenges us to love others in order to give them a glimpse of what it will be like to stand in the presence of God. This lecture was presented to the C.S. Lewis Fellows of Chicago at the historic Moody Church on Feb. 4, 2023.
