Love Does Whatever It Takes
By: Troy Burns
Series: Love Better
In 1 Corinthians 13:8, we read that “Love never fails,” or as another Bible version says it, “Love never ends.” The most accurate translation is that “Love never falls," meaning that God’s type of love will not fall or falter. It is constant forever. It also means that if we follow Jesus, we are to show that same kind of love for other people.

Feb 25, 2024Love is Not About MeBy: Troy BurnsSeries: Love BetterAs Troy explains (and as Arron shares in his book), love does not selfishly insist on its own way.
