Contributed by David Dykes on Mar 31, 2003

Jesus didn’t ask everyone he met to follow him. He asked the original twelve disciples–and He invited the Rich Young Ruler to follow him. The young man refused. Like many people, he was fooling himself about what it takes to have eternal life.

Called To Love

Contributed by Jerry Flury on Feb 14, 2010

We have been called to love. Twelve times in the New Testament we are expressly commanded to “love one another”. Loving one is more than just words; more than just saying “I love you brother”. What is this thing called “love”?
