We must be different to make a difference.

UNSHAKEABLE VIRTUE

IN/DIFFERENT - THE LOVE APOLOGY

Different Series 3: The most distinct component of the early church was also its most powerful argument for the validity of the gospel - the church's extraordinary capacity to love.  In loving our Lord, our church, our neighbor, and our enemy, we live our most important difference.
