     | 6,397 views

    The Greatest Thing you can do is to love. In the famous love chapter of the Bible, 1 Corinthians 13, it says that faith, hope, and love are present, but the greatest is love. Once we respond to God’s love for us and begin to love Him back, we find that w

    Contributed by Stephen Belokur on Apr 29, 2014
     | 5,464 views

    "The peace of God which transcends all understand" is, in essence, irrational peace! A peace which can be experienced by Christians but which the world cannot comprehend. This text shows us that we can have this peace when we know Jesus as Savior!

    Philippians 4:6-8 “Do not be anxious about anything, but in every situation, by prayer and petition, with thanksgiving, present your requests to God. And the peace of God, which transcends all understanding, will guard your hearts and minds in Christ Jesus.” “Finally ...read more
