    The Unrequited Love Of God

    Contributed by Dr. Craig Nelson on Apr 1, 2019
    based on 5 ratings
     | 7,721 views

    The passionate love of God is the blazing fire at the heart of all creation. God thinks about you every moment of every day. His love will never vary or change. That God would love even the vilest of sinners is the greatest mystery of eternity.

Sadly, in the lives of too many Christians, God’s love is unrequited. There are some Christians who are not comfortable with the way God truly feels about them, so ...read more

    There’s a condition of the heart that is necessary if the Word of God is to have a lasting effect on any of us.

    This little parable of Jesus got me thinking about taking soil samples. You know, with all its talk about different kinds of soil. So, what I did is: I logged on to YouTube and did a search.
