Still more from my textbook
"Love, Paul suggests first of all, has a moral dimension (v.9b). We tend to think of love as an emotion that we have little control over. We "fall" into it; we "drift" out of it. But in the Bible, love is a matter of the will. We determine to love. And true love will be directed to the good and will shun evil. We are in control. We are to choose to love what God values, what God loves. We are not to love those things that are wrong."Douglas Moo, Encountering the Book of Romans, p. 180

our posts are sort of matchy-matchy :)
yes, it is.
also, why do you know about all Lindsey and my weird things like matchy-matchy but i don't know about any of yours? don't you have things like that w/ Ashlee? or James? please, i know you're not that boring.
matchy matchy, jess? and oh please, we don't have weird things. you know us... we're such epitomes of normal individuals, how could we possibly be weird together?
ok James, what you've said translates to BORING. and i know that's false. b/c i know you guys aren't boring. so, false.
also, you should know that "matchy matchy" and suchlike is the result of living w/ the blonde. that's right.
it's from JMac's Found: God's Will, hence the title of the entry :) I wasn't sure if that was going to be clear, but you know. It's ok :)
