A Good Kind Of Debt

Love On One Foot

Contributed by Robert Leroe on Nov 28, 2007

Jesus sums up God’s laws in a brief statement that says it all: love God, love your neighbor--our duty to God and others. This is law of love...on one foot.

Love Does Not Brag And Is Not Arrogant Series

Contributed by Scott Coltrain on Sep 11, 2004

Arrogance is having or showing an exaggerated opinion of one’s own importance, merit, ability, accomplishments, etc. It is being conceited. It leads to having and demonstrating contempt for others. Jesus stated that ...read more
