The Language of the Heart

July 17, 2016 | David Speakman

Series: Words of Life

Scripture: Genesis 2:24-25, Exodus 20:14, Matthew 5: 27-30, 1 Thessalonians 4:3-8

“Love is the seed in you of every virtue and of all acts deserving  punishment.”—Dante

“The monstrosity of sexual intercourse outside marriage is that those who indulge in it are trying to isolate one kind of union (the sexual) from all the other kinds of union which were intended to go along with it and make up the total union. The Christian attitude does not mean there is anything wrong about sexual pleasure, any more than about the pleasure of eating. It means you must not isolate that pleasure and try to get it by itself, any more than you ought to try to get the pleasures of tasting without swallowing and digesting, by chewing things and spitting them out again.”—CS Lewis, Mere Christianity.

“We use an unfortunate idiom when we say of a man prowling the streets, that “he wants a woman.” Strictly speaking, a woman is what he does not want. He wants a pleasure for which a woman happens to be a necessary apparatus… [Real love] makes a man really want, not [even] a woman, but one particular woman. In some mysterious fashion, the lover desires the Beloved herself, not the pleasure she can give.”—CS Lewis, The Four Loves.

“It’s more than just words that got spoken; There was the language of the heart.”—David Wilcox
