"A church full of love is a church well built up.I had rather see a church filled with love a thousand times, than filled with the best, the highest, and most glorious gifts and parts that any man in this world maybe made partakers of. Could they go beyond all we exceed and all we aim at or desire, could they speak with the tongues of men and angels, it is ten thousand times more for the glory of God and our own comfort to be a company of poor saints, who are filled with love than to be with those of highest attainments without it.We neither give testimony to the world that God sent Christ, nor evidence that we are His disciples, nor do we contribute anything to the edification of the church, unless God give us to act this grace of love in abundant measure."John Owen
