It may come as a surprise to many, but as the Puritans enjoyed mental immersion in every Biblical topic, the idea of love was no exception. Perhaps the modern church fools itself to reckon it is much more whole-hearted in its pursuit of love, but this is a vast deception. Jonathan Edwards preached [...]

I had a conversation with a friend today, during which I was reminded of a passage in the book of Ecclesiastes,

“Then said one unto him,
