A very short verse from the Bible which was a life verse for Vicky Blair whom I knew in Bishkek, Kyrgyzstan 15 years ago. Our sermon yesterday was very good and it covered all these characteristics.
LOVE BINDS them ALL the Characteristics TOGETHER
Take LOVE AWAY from JOY > HEDONISM – Selfish Pleasures
Take LOVE AWAY from HOLINESS > SELF-RIGHTEOUSNESS – Pharisees
Take LOVE AWAY from TRUTH > BITTER ORTHODOXY – Always Right!
Take LOVE AWAY from MISSION > IMPERIALISM, Colonialism
Take LOVE AWAY from UNITY > TYRANNY – Forced CONFORMITY
