Love is Sometimes Severe in its Methods
Matthew 5:43
You have heard that it has been said, You shall love your neighbor, and hate your enemy.


Love is like the old surgery, which took blood, that the fever might go, and that life might come. Love is no poor moonshiney, pale light, caring for nothing. Love is a revelator; it discriminates between right and wrong. It likes the right and hates the wrong, and helps men out of the wrong into the right.

(Beecher.)
