I winced when I was listening to the LS sermon the other night when he mentioned "Sloppy Agape." There's nothing sloppy about the love of God, and it's easy to choose to preserve feelings of angst or even hatred against a brother instead of loving them in spite of our differences.
For that matter, that goes for people who disagree with LS as well. Disagree with the man, but love him anyway. He's still one of the "brethren."
