Wingfield uses Tina Turner’s “What’s Love Got to Do With It” to frame a critique of Christians who neglect Jesus’ command to love their neighbors. Drawing on Romans 13 and Matthew 18, Wingfield says that love fulfills the law, cannot be limited, and should define Christian life, reconciliation, and legacy.
