Roy Glover, Tzaneen – The problems we have in the world at present are directly related to a lack of love and excess of greed.
The word “love” has been made cheap by being so closely related to sex that people are embarrassed to use the word and consequently have moved away from its use.
Just think how many people who are not near relatives or very dear friends will ever say they love you.
In moving away from love, we are moving away from God, who is love. Love was the main reason that Christ came into the world.
He showed us a new way and love directly related to the two main commandments he gave us.
Sometimes our priests overcomplicate religion and it loses its profound message: that we should practise the love our Lord gave us.
Religious leaders are failing when they do not emphasise our lack of love for others and make people feel far too comfortable.
I think they should emphasise that our Lord gave us two very clear commands; they were not suggestions.
