Today is Valentine’s day, so we are talking about love. In particular, we are talking about two distortions of love. The first is the way that modern Valentine’s Day pushes an effeminate and perverse view of romance. The second is the sacrilegious depiction of Jesus’ love that we saw during the Super Bowl. False views of love are connected because they ultimately come from a false view of God, who is love. Both of these distortions require the same response: strong men must exercise godly, patriarchal love and put to death the effeminate, perverse, and idolatrous impostors.
