In the last chapter we talked about the old command that 's new. The Christian life is one of love. We are called to love God and love others. Those who do that, who follow God 's command to love, who love like Christ, are his. But where does our love stop? Is there a limit or are there things that we are not to love?

“Depression” is a word that seems to be thrown around a lot these days. I can’t remember the last time I made it through a day of high school without hearing somebody explain to me why they were feeling depressed at the moment. I constantly find myself wondering what has made the phrase so popular.
