    When we are dealing with issues and conflicts, we may select to be babies (unlimited retaliation), children (limited retaliation), adolescents (limited love), or mature (unlimited love), toward Jesus’ command to "Be perfect as your heavenly Father is perfect."

What is this raving? It is the word of Jesus, at the end of a series of challenges. Love your enemies. Give to ...read more
