the four loves

Need-love cries to God from our poverty; Gift-love longs to serve, or even to suffer for, God; Appreciative love says: "We give thanks to thee for thy great glory." Need-love says of a woman "I cannot live without her"; Gift-love longs to give her happiness, comfort, protection-if possible, wealth; Appreciative love gazes and holds its breath and is silent, rejoices that such a wonder should exist even if not for him, will not be wholly dejected by losing her, would rather have it so than never to have seen her at all.

What a stud. I guess this is why C.S. Lewis is arguably the most popular Christian author ever.

Next to Joel Osteen.

Joel Osteen.
There's a theologian for the ages.

Isn't God better when you can get rich off of him?
