    In this message I try to answer the following questions.Has sin infiltrated the church because we have loved our sons and daughters more than Jesus? Have we tolerated sin in our homes in order to show unconditional love?

    Jesus said if any man or woman love son or daughter more than Him, he or she is not worthy of Him (Matthew 10:37). What does that mean? Thomas Coke said the following regarding our passage, "He who preferreth the friendship of his nearest relations, though the sweetest of all earthly satisfactions, ...read more
