Loving the Truth in Person

Posted on Saturday, August 8, 2015 by Douglas Wilson - 2 comments

Either you love God and His people, or you don’t love God and His people. There really is no third way. The two great commandments are to love God and to love your neighbor. Loving your neighbor includes those who come to the Table with you here every week; it means loving your fellow church …
