Real love says...NO.

"Don’t just pretend to love others. Really love them. Hate what is wrong. Hold tightly to what is good."
----Romans 12.9 NLT

As a follower of Jesus Messiah I am instructed to:
1. Love others.
2. Hate evil.
3. Embrace good.

So then, not only is it possible, it is commanded of Christ-followers: love people without embracing their broken behavior, like Jesus does.

Tolerance is NOT love. Love does not REQUIRE tolerance.

In-other-words, I CAN "love the sinner and hate the sin" and BE acting IN LOVE toward those whose behavior I cannot tolerate. 

I CANNOT hate broken people.

Love is non-negotiable. Tolerance is fraud.


Do.Love.Walk.
Liveitwell!

Feeling G-old

Conventional wisdom is that "the benefits don't outweigh the tradeoffs" associated with growing older.

True enough.

But IF, through that process, one discovers tenderness, that...is a "state of being" more precious than gold.

Feeling old? Try a little tenderness. Make it GRACE.


Life is fast.

Liveitwell!
