What God’s Love Do In Our Lives

Contributed by Dr. Odell Belger on Apr 26, 2022

In Chicago a few years ago a little boy walked to Sunday school every Sunday. When his parents moved to another part of the city the little boy still attended the same Sunday school, although it meant a longer distance to walk.

A friend asked him why he went so far when there were plenty of other churches near his home. He said, “I attend my church because they love a fellow over there.” If only we could convince the world that we loved them there would be fewer empty pews in our churches. A TRUE DEFINITION OF LOVE. ...read more

The Importance of the Command Is anybody here interested in seeing the most important ...read more

You Are A Beloved Disciple Series

Contributed by D. Dewaine Phillips on Sep 15, 2021
