Reason and logic are truth, God always appeals to us through our intellect. It is Satan who appeals to us through our emotions. Love is not an emotion or a feeling...it is God’s extraordinary gift through the Spirit that lives within each of us. If we know God’s love intimately, then the light shines within us and it is easier to ward of decisions made with emotions and look to our intellect to guide us.

This makes it sound like you're saying that God doesn't care about emotions (or ever appeal to them) — but what of Abraham and telling him to sacrifice his son? (That's arguable; certainly a test of will & obedience) What of Jesus asking Peter do you love me? three times? — that is certainly an emotional appeal.
