Love Never Pretends!! (Hix)

Contributed by Jimmy Haile on Feb 11, 2015

Doesn't matter if you can preach good, or use long 50 cent words, that nobody understands, if they don’t love! What good is it? I've known preachers, that love to hear themselves talk, but I'm not sure, they love the ones they're talking too!!
