Charity and Its Fruits #1

Ian Hamilton writing in the B of T,'Jonathan Edwards was.. pre-eminently a pastor and paramount in all his concerns for his congregation was to impress upon them that love was the greatest thing of all. All the virtues worth having are summed up in Christain love. Heresy of the heart is as destructive a force in the church as heresy of the head. With that conviction Edwards preached his 13 sermons on “Charity and its Fruits” All the spiritual gifts, the permanent and the foundational, could not compensate one iota for the absence of love in the heart.
