Stephen Finlan’s Sermons and book excerpts
Preaching the Gospel of Jesus, in Spirit and in Truth
Quote of the week: “The love of God in its highest form is not to have love ‘for’ God—for a mere concept; it is to participate in His love for the world . . . Love [is] the inmost essence of God Himself.” — Max Scheler, The Nature of Sympathy, 164
