    Contributed by Jerry Cosper on Jan 24, 2023
     | 1,949 views

    We often do what we think God will INSPECT, not what he EXPECTS us to do.

    Do you love your neighbor? Love - that's a big word. Love is the fulfillment of all of God's laws. It's greater than any spiritual gift you could have. It's the reason God put us here on earth. It's even what Jesus said would confirm that we are his disciples. LOVE. But ...read more
