Biblical love Quote by Owen Strachan
““Whatever response we draw, we’ve got to know this: evangelism is not easy. It’s not supposed to be. It’s challenging to tell someone that he or she is lost, in danger of coming judgment, and in need of wholehearted repentance. That’s not a light and airy message. It’s a world-changing message, one that calls our entire lives into question. It’s a loving message, but love in a biblical sense is not mushy or weak. Biblical love is transformative, powerful, renewing, redeeming, cleansing.””
