"The modern world is full of the old Christian virtues gone mad. The virtues have gone mad because they have been isolated from each other and are wandering alone. Thus some scientists care for truth; and their truth is pitiless. Thus some humanitarians only care for pity; and their pity (I am sorry to say) is often untruthful." - G.K. Chesterton - "Orthodoxy"
Some truths speak to our times far more than we'd like to admit. I often feel Chesterton walking around our local towns and commenting on the lived experiences of those of us in the 21st century. Fascinating insight - should one be willing to notice how easily this world loves to divide what God has put together - love and truth go hand and hand.
May we be a people who desire a love that is truthful and a truth that is bathed In love.
"By this we know that we love the children of God, when we love God and obey his commandments. For this is the love of God, that we keep His commandments. And His commandments are not burdensome." 1 John 5:2-3
