Is "love" the most abused word in the English language?
I ask because in the same breath I can say, "I LOVE this can of soda!" and, "I LOVE God!"

It seems like we need something else. Something else to describe how much we care for something...especially when it comes to our spouses and God.

I ask because I'm doing a sermon on this in two weeks...and I like how the Hebrews have many words that describe "love". Especially the "love" that is built on a marriage.
