    Contributed by Jeff Taylor on Jan 21, 2023

John MacArthur, in his exposition of these verses, used an illustration that has stuck with me. I would like to begin with it. He talked about the phenomenon ...read more

    September the 11th saw tremendous acts of self-sacrifice. What happened then was costly. That is what real love is like. It is willing to deprive itself.

Putting them into practice seems utterly hopeless, unrealistic. We ...read more
