Youth With Christ In Action

Contributed by Minister Dachi on Oct 20, 2022

Solomon, who wasted much of his life in folly, perhaps thought better of the matter in his declining days. He contended: “Remember now your Creator in the days of your youth, before the evil days come and the years draw near when you will say, I have no pleasure in them” (Eccl. 12:1).

What Is Love in Action? Why say “I love you?” “I love you” is an empty phrase without a demonstration of commitment and a willingness to sacrifice with some type of action. “Actions speak louder than words,” undergirds much of Scripture. The apostle John clearly indicated throughout his writings ...read more
