Love Is Spiritual Warfare

Aug 30, 2026  •  The Rev. Billy Cerveny

Claiming to be a professional surfer in Costa Rica went fine until the overhead waves arrived, much as Christian love holds up only until life's first big set. Romans 12 is not a checklist but a portrait of a heart marinated in God's mercy. Grace breeds love that is sincere rather than performative, and powerful: blessing persecutors, as Solzhenitsyn learned in the gulag, refuses to let evil remake us in its image.
