Behold What Manner Of Love Series

Contributed by Chris Appleby on Nov 2, 2005

God’s love is a powerful love. It’s a love that reaches out to us even while we’re being unfaithful. It’s a love that willingly pays the cost to win us back. But in the end it’s a love that must be taken up by those to whom it’s offered.

I remember one man who came home from work one day to discover his wife had had the removalists in and they’d taken everything apart from his personal belongings.

Rejoice! Why? Series

Contributed by Denn Guptill on Nov 25, 2004

We are often told that we are to rejoice as Christians but you ever wonder: Why?
