    Love is the highest priority in our life because God is love. We must remember that it is God that defines and demonstrates what true, godly love looks like

    I have been spending a lot of time lately reflecting on the nature of love. There are those that define love in so many ways. There was a time when I would have automatically thought of unbelievers as being the ones who have all of these various ways of defining love. But I have come to realize ...read more
