Love Quote by Ron Citlau
““When you choose a church, or if you are considering the kind of church you will be, make sure those there love Scripture, teach the full council of God from it, and devote themselves to it. This includes the ethical demands of Scripture and the cure to the things that ail us. Make sure they call sin sin, love people where they are at, and seek Jesus in all that they do. This is what it means to be a Bible-believing church. Don’t join a church that is not clear on their love of Scripture and the Jesus it points to. Your flourishing depends upon it.””

![“[O]ur primary job as Christians is to love people, and we can't love from behind a barricade. But we have other God-given responsibilities too—to fight against those who make unjust decrees, rob the needy, and deprive the poor of their rights. We can make political the things that are political…” quote by Alisa Harris](https://sms4smile.com/quotes/img-quotes/733/alisa-harris-43994_christianity_o-ur-primary-job-as-christians-is-to-lov_16440.jpg)
