The godly sufferer replied, "I think of Him more than ever." Sorrow can be the means of bringing us heart-to-heart with God. When repeated strokes ...read more

     | 6,271 views

    Outside the bounds of Jesus’ love, there is a hunger that is never satisfied because it longs for true joy and happiness and yet it never gets fulfillment.

    JESUS’ LEGACY OF LOVE Text: John 15: 9-17 "An ancient clay tablet inscribed about 4000 B.C. tells of a mystic who believed that the secret of life could be discovered by going without food, he died. Those who attempt to live without love meet the same fate". (Herb Miller. Actions Speak ...read more

    The Beatles song, Love, love, love is all you need was a popular song. Young people of that time echoed that sentiment in their actions and in how they lived their lives.
