Scripture is clear about our call as believers to love others, but how do we love the people who are difficult and the ones who are dangerous? 

Jesus said that the greatest command was to love the Lord our God, but how often do we do the exact opposite…?

When Jayme Erickson got the call to head out to an accident, it was work as usual. A Canadian paramedic, she’d seen more than her fair share of gnarled cars twisted around trees, plowed off roads or smashed into one another.
