Summary

The culture says, “To love me you must approve of what I do.” Is that true? Does love require approval? Many so-called Christians are claiming the answer is yes— that we must approve of what people want to do in order to love them. Frank shows why that’s false and would make real love impossible. The kind of love that Jesus demonstrated and commanded of us requires that we sacrificially seek the good of the other person, and that requires that we disapprove of harmful behaviors.
