Love-It's Supernaturally Natural Series

Contributed by Dr. Lewis W. Gregory on Feb 7, 2023

Love, we all need it. We all want it, but we rarely get it. We long for others to love us. But most people don't have any love to give. Most humans only know selfish love.

I. Love does not come naturally. That should be quite evident from the selfish attitude prevalent among us. All humans are born with an evil nature, which means it’s our nature to be selfish.

No Greater Love Series

Contributed by Dr. Lewis W. Gregory on Feb 7, 2023

To love the unlovely and the unloveable is inconceivable. But that is just exactly what God did for all of us. We, who were corrupt through sin became the beneficiaries of eternal life through the sacrificial death of Christ.

What motivated God the Father to send His one and only cherished Son to earth to die for us? Why would the holy Son of God want to come into a wicked world? Moreover, what would prompt Him to give His life as a human sacrifice for sinful, wicked humanity? It is inherent in God’s nature to make ...read more

There is only one kind of love that actually makes a difference. There is only one kind of love that ...read more

The Love Of God

Contributed by Scott Sutton on Aug 22, 2022

The fairy tale ‘Beauty and the Beast’ was not original with Walt Disney. In fact, there are similar fairy tales that go back 4000 years! But it wasn't written into story form by a French Novelist until 1740.

This is what he said about it; “The great lesson of the tale of “Beauty and the Beast” is that a thing must be loved before it is loveable. A person must be loved before that person ...read more
