     | 8,620 views

    To deny the reality of an eternal realm simply because we haven’t experienced it yet may be like the days of ocean travel before Columbus. They assumed they would sail off the edge of a flat world.

    Love Unquenchable

    Contributed by Richard Tow on Feb 1, 2016
    based on 1 rating
     | 6,474 views

    In many sectors of our society “tolerance” is equated with “love.” But is that a biblical concept? God is love; but was He tolerant of Sodom’s sin? Perhaps current assumptions about what love is should be examined in the light of biblical revelation.

    Love Unquenchable (10-18-15 www.LifeChurchSpringfield.org) I take as my theme these words from Song of Solomon 8:7 “Many waters cannot quench love, Nor can the floods drown it….” On November 5, 1982 a precious gift from God was laid in my arms. Jeanie and I named her Kathy Jean ...read more
