    Contributed by Mark Haines on Dec 5, 2008
    based on 4 ratings
     | 3,209 views

    We tend to view love as a warm fuzzy feeling reserved for a select few of our friends and family. However, God calls us to a life of holy love – a love founded on His love for us and built with decisive actions instead of feelings.

    When we accept Jesus Christ as our Savior and Lord, we instantly become a target for the enemy - the devil.

    what is the soil of your heart?

    I have this against you, Jesus said, you have left your first love. Last week we learned about the carnal Christian, the one who has gotten off track, but how can it happen. How does one fall out of love? How does one transfer their affections to another? Tonight lets look at the ...read more
