‘However it works, why ever it works, it works.’

‘However it works, why ever it works, it works.’

by Keith Braithwaite 8th November 2024

There’s a passage from Paul that you’ll have heard many times before: ‘Love is patient; love is kind; love is not envious or boastful or arrogant or rude. It does not insist on its own way; it is not irritable; it keeps no record of wrongs; it does not rejoice in wrongdoing but rejoices in the truth. It bears all things, believes all things, hopes all things, endures all things’ (1 Corinthians 13:4-7. NRSV).

Hold that thought.
