One time, I was talking to an angry pastor, and he was saying to me, “You are the scum of the earth.” I patted him on the shoulder and I said, “Tell you what, pastor. I’ll take all the blood of Jesus you don’t need.” He just smiled. Lovelessness is a huge sin in the church. The four primary personalities in the New Testament—Jesus, Paul, Peter, and John—all four of them say that love is the most important thing. But the only time love really counts is when something unlovely happens.
