“What binds us together is not common education, common race, common income levels, common politics, common nationality, common accents, common jobs, or anything else of that sort. Christians come together . . . because . . . they have all been loved by Jesus himself . . .. They are a band of natural enemies who love one another for Jesus’ sake.”
– D.A. Carson, Love in Hard Places (Wheaton, Ill.; Crossway Books, 2002),61.
