One thing I really like about the Christian faith.. is that love is the essential ingredient to produce disciples. A song reminded me of this today.. we don't need laws, rules, conventions, theology ,etc. Those things are nice, but the way we reach people is through love. bottom line.
"I thought I'd win them all with words.
Say a smooth little rhyme to win the room every time
and they'd be moved by what they heard..
my tongue is empty as my heart.
its not enough to play the part.
Oh Jesus, give me more than words.
We press our paper facts..
and we know they won't come around
we can debate theology
but they wont come around
apologetic reasoning..
but they wont come around
there's only one way they'll come..
and its love.."
...maybe for a minute i can get back to the heart of it..
sure i've got zeal, but does love have a part in it?
Passionate words, and beautiful phrases..
they just don't mean much if I don't have Jesus in it.. in it.."
Those are some random lyrics of "Come Around" by Jimmy Needham, and you can listen to it below. I hope those words speak to how you are loving, today.

True dat. Have I said you are wise and have some really good insight yet ;) I "love" that passage in 1 Corinthians 13 and also Thrice Man's "Moving Mountains" cause it's those verses put to awesome background music. But Mr. Needham has some awesome lyrics too. Thanks for sharing that.
