Do I Hear An Amen?

Contributed by James Groce on Jul 17, 2002

"Amen" is far more meaningful than a period, a stop, or a signing-off word by which a prayer, song, or declaration is terminated.

In Scripture the word “Amen” comes from both Greek and Hebrew and is transliterated; which means there is no word in our language that can be interpreted exactly...so we used their word and in this case it is AMEN. It is variously translated Surely, Sure, Truth, Verily and Amen! Bullinger says ...read more

Love's Dimensions

Contributed by Daniel Habben on Jul 21, 2008

Paul describes love’s immeasurabley wide- unassuming-forever dimensions.
