Dear Fellow Believers,

We always read 1 Corinthians 13—the love chapter—and apply it to how humans ought to be loving one another. This is not a mistake. However, there is one aspect of the description of love—"love is believing all"—that made me wonder how this particular verse could possibly apply to human beings. Are we expected by God to believe everything that everyone tells us? This gave me a clue that maybe we weren't reading this chapter correctly. What if Paul primarily meant for this chapter to describe how we are to love God?

I call this "The Bob Evans Revelation" because this "believing all" aspect hit me while eating breakfast at a Bob Evans restaurant in Wytheville, VA, en route to a Florida conference in 1997.

This message was recorded at the home of Dean Hough of Almont, Michigan. Dean is the editor of Unsearchable Riches Magazine, and is probably one of the few people alive who met A.E. Knoch, the translator of Unsearchable Riches Magazine.

Once again, our friend Rodney Paris rescues a twenty-five year-old audio cassette tape from a storage unit in Canton, Ohio, digitizes it, and breathes new life into it with video and helpful text frames.

As always, thanks to each of you for your love of this work—and its worker. Your love and support has kept me going for thirty years now. You are like family to me. And indeed, we fellow members of the body of Christ are closer than blood relations.

With much appreciation from the Floridan peninsula,

Martin
