Summary

We continue our series Redefining Love on 1 Corinthians 13. In this episode Keith discusses 1 Corinthians 13:7, where Paul writes that love endures all things. Can you endure all things? Me either.

0:00.0	Welcome to 10 minute Bible Talks, where we connect the Bible to your life and the time it takes to get to work.
0:11.0	I'm Patrick Miller. And I'm Keith Simon. Right now we're
0:14.6	working through 1st Corinthians 13, Paul's definition of love.
