    Independence Day 1986: Fear leads to oppression, and vice versa. We overcome our fears by discovering the love that empowers us in the sacrificial death of Christ.

    Something is missing from the church today, and people are starting to notice. Too often the church fails to offer what it advertises: life.

    2. The Greatest Commandment February 21, 2010 Love your Neighbor I find it amusing when people talk about the loving feeling they have for each other.
