Love Is A Choice Series

Contributed by Glenn Pease on Mar 17, 2021

Every choice in life can be evaluated by asking, is this a loving choice? If it is not, it is a bad choice. All sin is a bad choice, for it is a violation of love for God or others. Everything that is right is so, because it is loving.
