    The lost don’t need another critic; they need someone who cares. Like Christ we must not condone their actions, but extend to them loving compassion for their soul.

    based on 404 ratings
     | 26,604 views

    "Love One Another" is repeated again and again throughout the pages of the New Testament. Why dwell so heavily on this command when it would seem there is so much more to learn about God?
