faith without love is dead

"Life minus love equals zero." 
"Love concentrates so intently on another that you forget yourself at that moment." 
- Rick Warren

"It's not what you do, but how much love you put into it that matters."
- Mother Teresa

"The only thing that counts is faith expressing itself through love."
- Galatians 5:6 

"This is how we know what love is: Christ laid down his life for us. And we ought to lay down our lives for our brothers. If anyone has material possessions and sees his brother in need but has no pity on him, how can the love of God be in him? Dear children, let us not love with words or tongue but with actions and in truth."
- 1 John 3:16-18 

"This is how we've come to understand and experience love: Christ sacrificed his life for us. This is why we ought to live sacrificially for our fellow believers, and not just be out for ourselves. If you see some brother or sister in need and have the means to do something about it but turn a cold shoulder and do nothing, what happens to God's love? It disappears. And you made it disappear. My dear children, let's not just talk about love; let's practice real love. This is the only way we'll know we're living truly, living in God's reality."
- 1 John 3:16-18 (MSG)  

"Proclaim the gospel at all times. If necessary, use words."
- St. Francis of Assisi

"Everyone will know that you are my disciples because of your love for each other.” 
- John 13:35 (GWT)
