The Gospel According To Genesis Series

Love Is

Contributed by Darian Catron on Feb 10, 2021

What is love? How will I know love when I see it? Is it just something I feel inside? Is it just a word we say? What the World says about love and what the Word says about love are two very different ideas.

This is a love between a man and his wife. “Wives, submit yourself unto your husbands, as unto the Lord” Ephesians 5:22. PHILEO: which means “to have a special interest ...read more
