Loving The Way He Loves

Contributed by Christian Cheong on May 21, 2004

The secret to loving is first receiving God’s love, knowing you are greatly loved, and quit focusing on people and start focusing on what God has done.

Karl Marx said, "If I can steal their history I can steal their country." It is about time that Christians stop this theft and stand up for Christmas again!

Fought/ fight = agony. Literally – “I have agonized over a worthwhile struggle”. At the end of Paul’s life, he declared that as for his faith, it was strong because he fought to keep it that way!
