Love or Die

Practitioners of Love

December 20, 2011December 20, 2011 / Dennis Griffith / 1 Comment

Studying love is exciting, being taught the doctrines of love is enlightening, praying about love is heart moving, and seeing love modeled is motivating, but in the end, we must lovingly obey God and sacrificially serve people. We must be practitioners of love, not theorists. We must be doers of love, not talkers. We must forge a connection between words and actions.

~ Alexander Strauch, from Love or Die
