    Love: A Fruit Of The Spirit Series

    Contributed by Patrick Nix on Jul 9, 2010
     | 3,638 views

    The battle that every Christian fights is not won or lost by whether we get more of God (we’ve already got all He’s going to give: 100%), the real issue is whether or not God will get more of us!

He’ll always be there – never leaving or forsaking you (Hebrews 13:5). In fact, the Apostle Paul even sarcastically reminds a church that has ...read more
