Do You Love Me?

Contributed by Greg Nance on Jan 10, 2010

Jesus asks Peter this question three times. It is the only time in scripture where Jesus asks anyone, "Do you love me?" It is an important question that determines our ultimate destiny.

There’s a song in our songbook that goes: “The things that I love and hold dear to my heart are just borrowed they’re not mine at all. Jesus only let me use them to brighten ...read more

Love's Short-Term Memory

Contributed by Andrew Drummond on Jan 11, 2010

Love forgives and forgets, at least that is what the bible says. How do you make this a reality in your life?
