The most faithful thing you can do is simply choose love! In this episode of Coffee to Go, Karin Peter and Blake Smith explore Paul’s words in Romans 13 and the radical idea that love—not rules, judgment, culture, or retribution—is what fulfills the law. They unpack what it means to “put on” Christ-like love as a way of being: actively caring, serving, showing compassion, and choosing love even when it’s difficult. Along the way, they challenge us to notice where culture pulls us away from love and to rehearse a different response—one rooted in the way of Jesus.
