It's not that we've stopped loving God; it's just that things have happened along the way that have caused us to settle for small lives defined primarily by activity for God.

Not recognizing the power of our words makes it harder for us to trust and serve one another―to love one another.

His research and contextualization of the cultural background to the New Testament is as practical for today as it is urgent.
